So my conclusion from this is: is there a reason that every error
message of the form "expected foo" or "this object cannot be frotzed"
cannot be changed to something like "expected foo but found bar" or
"this FooType object cannot be frotzed"?
Some arguments from my head:
- because error messages should be short
- because error messages are not debugging tools (better use unit
tests to avoid most common errors)
- because it's a lot of work to actually obtain such information in
each posible case, and sometimes, it may not be posible.
- because none of the core developers has interest on it
- because nobody else cares to submit a patch
