[PD-dev] Raise error from abstraction

[Christof Ressi]

That would be great a feature! I think many of us have thought about 
that, but nobody has made a PR yet.

I think the easiest solution would be to add more options to [print]. I 
particularly like the idea that [print] could (optionally) set the 
containing abstraction as the error source.

You could make a feature request on GitHub. There is a somewhat related 
issue (https://github.com/pure-data/pure-data/issues/1174), but that one 
is not very specific.
