Description

It would be great if the better exceptions could output file:/// hyperlinks using the new ansi standard.

I'm not quite sure which bit of the output should be the link.

Unfortunately AFAICT line numbers aren't supported, but just being able to click from somewhere in the exception and open the file would be a big plus.
