But in the end do you want to do anything more complex than attaching 
extra information to the end of a traceback? <0.5 wink>

Actually I was already aware that in the new reporting API / events 
there was one missing - an event for 'outputting' the individual 
reports. I didn't want to add it until I had a concrete use case though. 
I guess I just got one.


All the best,
