This is already possible: you can use any Lua value as the "message".
In particular, you can send a complex error message by using a table.
Try this:
 function f() error(print) end
 print(print,pcall(f))
and this:
 function f(x) error(x) end
 function try(x) print(x,pcall(f,x)) end
 try()
 try(1)
 try(nil)
 try("bye")
 try(try)
 try{}
 try(io.stdout)
--lhf
