I'm not sure everyone agrees with this to be honest, myself included.

I think the best way to do this would be to have an option for RAISE to 
suppress the context *regardless of nesting depth*, but show the full 
context by default for ERRORs.  For NOTICEs and WARNINGs I don't care 
much what the default will be; perhaps just full backwards compatibility 
could work there.
