Hi,

I too am in favor of a mechanism to strip out sensitive data from
error messages. But Lester, man, you have it all backwards ...

People using the site are not there to debug it. Whether they see a
white screen or an unhandled error that was never meant for them to
see, it's still bad user experience and of no use to anybody.

You have logs to see the errors; relying on your users to report the
actual error messages to you is the worst way to do it.
