I still don't understand: currently, if you see a message "Wrong
type argument: listp, baz", then enable the debugger and reproduce the
error, you won't see "Wrong type argument: listp, baz" but

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument listp baz)

instead.  IOW, instead of the error message, you see the error object.

Because of my "A => B => compile => C => D" example: the message I want
to have depends on the chain from the point where I catch the error
(i.e. the `condition-case`) to the point where the error is signaled.
And I don't really care about the debugger case.
