We cannot base the computation on a % because is possible that the

but the variables, function names or constructs are just very large. I
think that the idea of "spawns
the whole line" is sensible, though.

Omitting the line of ^ where over x% (75%? 90%?) of characters on the

It would also need to take into account cases where a line contains an
inline comment, which does not contribute to the code producing the
error, but where all of the rest of the line (the code) is the source of
the error and highlighting it is not useful
# test.py:
code_that_causes_an_error # a comment
$ python3.11 test.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
code_that_causes_an_error # a comment
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
NameError: name 'code_that_causes_an_error' is not defined
(the traceback shown is from a current `main` build)
