When you say "hit an error", I'm assuming you mean "clojure throws an 
exception" and not "hit a breakpoint in a debugger" or something else. 

I don't think there is one place where we could generically attach locals 
info to a thrown exception. The JVM debugging interface (JVMTI - 
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/jvmti/index.html) can 
do an awful lot of things (including arbitrary class bytecode 
transformation) so I would guess it's possible to build a java agent that 
could do this (or to modify the Compiler to inject the right code at 
compile time). Sounds like a fun project, but probably non-trivial.
