I guess my question then is whether you'd prefer module names over
file names for regular Python traceback? What I find the most jarring
is the dissimilarity of the two traceback styles. I'm used to
deciphering Python tracebacks, and I'd like to see Zope3's tracebacks
as similar to that as possible.
