This wouldn't work for me, Lua is embedded in my application and does not
use stderr, but a console within the app.

Right.  I guess it still works because I have overriden alert in order to
re-direct error messages to my Lua console.  I have also overridden print(),
but alert does things differently to ensure errors are coloured red in the
output.  There's no reason I couldn't either push an error handler to do the
same, or modifiy your example to print it in the right place and style,
though.

Thanks!
