Significance: Fast Debugging
It is very important to be able to quickly debug issues in your application.

For example, an overly complex parser might be trying to compensate for missing functionality in the interpreter by incorrectly (and misleadingly) validating code at the syntax level, or messages without details could indicate that the internal design prohibits access to values where they should be reachable in a sane implementation.
