Be Able to Provide More Information When Reporting Error

[philippfromme]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Recently, an optional path argument was added to Reporter#report to add more information to the error. In some cases there is still not enough information.

Example:

<bpmn:businessRuleTask />

This business rule task is missing an extension element that is required. The path could be specified as [ 'extensionElements', 'values' ] but there is no information about what type of extension element is missing. For any missing property that is isMany=true the information about the type is missing.

Describe the solution you'd like

Either

• introduce a new concept of e.g. error types along with additional information (e.g. { type: 'missingProperty', missingPropertyType: 'foo:Bar' }

or

• introduce a way of providing arbitrary information when calling Reporter#report (e.g. Reporter.report(id, message, path, { type: 'missingProperty', missingPropertyType: 'foo:Bar' })

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

Assumptions about the error could be derived from the error message itself.
