Hello,
I have proposed an addition to EEP-54 that adds `general` and `reason` to
the possible return values from the format_error map.
The general return key was added in order to allow information
to be given about the default I/O device in io:format("hello").
It also allows third-party error_report implementations (such as Elixir)
much more freedom in what they can return.
The reason return key was added in order for third-party error_report
implementations (such as Elixir) to influence what is printed to describe
the actual error.
You can view the PR for the EEP update here:
