I'm thinking of writing a package which displays R errors as Pai Mei gifs.

I would kill for an R package that displays R error messages as something useful. Especially if it's happening 200 lines deep in a library somewhere, it would be nice for that library to catch the error and display something that pertains to what I wrote instead of just throwing whatever error occurs on that line. Or at least tell me what library the error occurred in so I don't have to guess.
