indeed! .. and your patch below does address that, too.

Interesting... thank you for the suggestion! I plan to add it
to the help page and then use it a bit .. before considering more.

, using sys.parent() may be not good. For example, in
> f <- function() stopifnot(exprs={FALSE}, local=FALSE); f()
I'm glad you found this too.. I did have "uneasy feelings" about
using sys.parent(2) to find the correct call .. and I'm still
not 100% sure about the smart computation of 'n' for
sys.call(n-1) ... but I agree we should move in that direction
as it is so much faster than using withCallingHandlers() + tryCatch()
for all the expressions.
In my tests your revised patch (including the simplificationn
you sent 4 hours later) seems good and indeed does have very
good timing in simple experiments.
It will lead to some error messages being changed,
but in the examples I've seen, the few changes were acceptable
(sometimes slightly less helpful, sometimes easier to read).
