In method shownew of stacktrace.jl there is a space missing between "in file x in pkg".

Currently collapsetypes.jl overrides Base methods to support display of collapsed long nested types. Find a way to do that without overriding.

For example by not calling Base.showerror for tickets but calling method to print error and stacktrace ourself

Using the module after a fresh installation fails because the ticket directory does not exists. Easiest solution to solve this is by just creating the directory in that case.

Find a way to detect the currently active package/environment from Pkg and highlight the lines in the stack trace that happened in that package.

The basics are already implemented in src/collapsetypes.jl but need finish (see other ticket) and especially inclusion in module.

Currently in the stack trace displayed by shownew in stacktraces.jl the line of the stack trace is displayed like

which in line 118 in file REPL.jl in package REPL

a better Version would only emphasize the line, file and package itself:

which in line 118 in file REPL.jl in package REPL

Since there are different scenarios where different styles on how to display errors are better or worse (e.g. first time user vs. long time user) a style based dispatch on showing errors sound practicable.

The methods for showing error messages and stack traces would take a first style argument that decided how they are printed.

For example a style that would print verbose explanation of the stack trace and another that shows a very condensed stack trace.

There could be a default or fallback style that uses the Base methods to show errors.

The Styles should be only used internally for now, the end user would only use different methods to display the errors in different styles (for now).

For some reason the newline is ignored when the line

For more information on this error see 'help(ticker)'

is displayed so that it is printed in the same line as the last stack trace line.
