        Sometimes I want to be able to print out everything about an error: it's class, message and the stack trace. So how about this:

Update: followed suggestion by onarap and changed the line breaks to $/. No syntax highlighting because <b>the code breaks the snippet parser</b>.

<pre>

    "#{self.class}: #{message}#$/#{backtrace.join($/)}"
  end
end
</pre>
