Title: type errors cause ugly error msgs Status in Zorba - The XQuery Processor: In Progress Bug description: A query like this declare function local:foo() as empty-sequence() { <foo /> }; local:foo(); causes the following error msg because of a type error: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> </Users/wcandillon/tmp/test.xq>:3,3: type error [err:XPTY0004]: Cannot treat [NodeXQType elementNode nametest=[uri: , local: foo] content=[XQType ANY_TYPE_KIND*]] as [XQType NONE_KIND] when returning the result of the function local:foo().; raised at /Users/wcandillon/28msec/zorba/src/runtime/core/sequencetypes.cpp:557 ================================================= local:foo#0 <http://www.w3.org/2005/xquery-local-functions> /Users/wcandillon/tmp/test.xq at line 6 column 1 This is very ugly und not understandable for someone who is not involved in the zorba internals. We need an error msg like this: Stopped at line 1, column 17: [XPTY0004] Can't promote type xs:string to empty-sequence(): "abc".
