Hm, perhaps, I put it in the details, because it sounded like the place
to put information that is not that important, but still helpful. It's
kind of natural to think of the traceback as the detail of the error
message. But if you prefer context, I'm fine with that. You want me to
update the patch to put the traceback in the context?
