[fusion-dev] Re: Ticket: Fusion reports unreadable error message

[Paul Spencer]

This sounds more application-specific than I am willing to put into  
the library as core functionality.  So to accommodate this, I would  
prefer that we expose 'extended' error conditions through event  
notifications that developers can use to implement their own handling  
system.  In this case, Fusion would never alert an error but rather  
would trigger error events (some of this happens already) and pass  
both basic and extended information.

In this case, Christine's patch should be modified to fire an error  
event instead of an alert.  Perhaps that is beyond the scope of the  
current change :)
