Subject: pretty exceptions


hopefully i'm not missing anything obvious here, but doesn't i make sense that
there should be something that allows one to display an Exception in the way
ruby does it (when raised) with class, message, and backtrace, something like:

  class Exception
    def errmsg
    "%s: %s\n%s" % [self.class, message, (backtrace || []).join("\n") << "\n"]
    end
  end

wouldn't it make sense for Exception#inspect to do this?
