The output for compiled functions is the main one which I think is more
readable (among those that occur often in backtraces), so let's just
agree to disagree on this one.

The `noerror` argument of `require` doesn't silence the errors that
happen while loading the file, instead it prevents signaling an error
when the file is not found.

I'm hoping it will.

No.
