+ Extended error information for failing BIF calls as
+ proposed in <url
+ href="https://github.com/erlang/eep/blob/master/eeps/eep-0054.md">EEP
+ 54</url> has been implemented.</p>
+ <p>
+ When a BIF call from the Erlang shell fails, more
+ information about which argument or arguments that were
+ in error will be printed. The same extended error
+ information will by <c>proc_lib</c>, <c>common_test</c>,
+ and <c>qlc</c> when BIF calls fail.</p>
+ <p>
+ For applications that wish to provide the same extended
+ error information, there are new functions
+ <c>erl_error:format_exception/3</c> and
+ <c>erl_error:format_exception/4</c>.</p>
+ <p>
+ There is a new <c>error/3</c> BIF that allows
+ applications or libraries to provide extended error
+ information in the same way for their own exceptions.</p>
