+/// function, so Lua raises ``setfenv' cannot change environment of given object`. That one armed
+/// run logged **91** of those and took pfUI, AI_VoiceOver, WhatsTraining_Turtle, MasterTradeSkills

+/// `error(msg, level)` positions the message by level, and `debugstack([start])` is the reference's
+/// traceback by level — `FuBarPlugin-2.0.lua:752` asks for `debugstack(6, 1, 0)` and
+/// `AceDB-2.0.lua:742` reads a specific line of it. `pcall`/`xpcall` stay wrapped: they take no
