hmm. as a user I'd really like a mode where *no* tracebacks and other similar
"scary looking" errors are ever visible and instead are replaced with something
more intuitive/less scary (- and I also think this mode should be the default).
I understand this is a language/interpreter issue and many developers disagree
I'd just like to imagine a (far away) world where things are perfect. ;)

Still, this is great for now.
