How to report error to users? I think that showing *Backtrace* buffer from '(error ...)' is not good way to do this (I have filling that such behavior indicates bug or "not yet implemented" condition in program). (message "...") is better but sometimes another modes hide minibufer text (like semantic when showing symbol type). Would like to hear suggestions... -- Best regards!
