After starting errortrace in one of these ways, when an exception occurs, the exception handler prints something like a stack trace with most recent contexts first.

The errortrace module is strange: Don’t import it into another module. Instead, the errortrace module is meant to be invoked from the top-level, so that it can install an evaluation handler, exception handler, etc.

To reuse parts of the code of errortrace, import errortrace/errortrace-lib. That library contains all of the bindings described here, but does not set the compilation handler or the error display handler.
