I've been thinking on how to tackle this, and I think we need a dedicated error_reporting module which provides pretty printing functionality for errors. This module could provide functions like fatal_error(msg, err), report_missing_deps(deps), etc. Trying to pretty print things all over the place will be too messy, we need a more centralised approach.
