    Description of feature: A way for modules to abort for reasons such as configuration errors or unsupported features in storage drivers. Motivation: Throwing an error produces a big scary traceback that may be too verbose and scary.

    Throw tables as errors with some pre-defined fields? And hide this behind a module:error() API method?

    Something like that, yeah. Also thought about catching `return false` from the module body or `module.load()`
