Very nice. Did you find globals to be useful often? We excluded those here because there can be a lot of them (i.e. imported modules), but could be a good addition. `obj.field` is a nice touch too (our current approach will work if repr() shows the field, but that requires some code ahead of time).

That's why I only include those globals which are referred to in the line of the exception. And when they were referred in the line, they often were also useful. Otherwise, you are right, way too many to show all. I even found all the locals to be too many in many cases, that's why I did that simple heuristics. Also, I just made this to be a `sys.excepthook` replacement, so it's just text and you cannot simply hide the locals away and a simple traceback would just look too long/complicated.
