Summary: Show the stack trace on error when using the debug
console

It would be nice if errors in the debug console showed the stack trace as well
as the error message.
For a function f(...) that produces an error, you can get the stack trace with
this code:
xpcall(function() return f(...) end, debug.traceback)
However, it can be a pain to type this out every time you want a stack trace,
and newer coders might not be aware that this feature of Lua exists. And in my
experience, if you get an error in the debug console, more often than not you
want to see the stack trace.
If screen real estate is thought to be a problem then the stack trace could be
collapsible, but personally I don't think any extra formatting is necessary.
