The ``ignore'' passage for pre-version 22 suggests a one line backtrace for the
event of function or variable being ``void’’. Neat.
How about something like a universal argument for level of detail of verbosity?
for backtrace.
The default is one line where possible for C-x C-e.
The easy to medium setting has lines having a common beautiful prefix where
possible.
The extremely difficult setting has all the ugly offal outpourings for the
kitchen sink.
