Feature-request: Improve error messages

Garmin: Please improve error messages!

Developers: Please add your examples as comments (and vote!)

Examples:

Error: Unhandled Exception
Exception: Key does not exist in Application Properties

Error: Unhandled Exception
Exception: Key does not exist in Application Properties
Stack:
- getConfig() at /home/gavriel.fleischer/private/garmin/ExtHRM/source/Config.mc:30 0x100016d9

Code at this line:
value = App.Properties.getValue(key);

It would be very useful to include the key in the error message...

With try/catch you can see which exception occurred, and even recover from it without a crash. For things like Application.Properties,getValue() I always use a wrapper function with the try/catch

That adds to the code size, for something that should be in the OS. Having useful error messages is always a good practice and usually it's not hard to implement, just a matter of thinking twice.
