Validation errors should show "path" to failure and/or name of failing portion.

Enhancement please!

Subject says it all really, for example in list.js there is a check:

      if (!(obj instanceof Object)) {
        throw this.error("list item must be an object");
      }

This doesn't help me much when there's a large tree it's parsing (I tried adding +typeof obj to the error message, which told me it was of type object which ground my gears).

or this one:

      if (!(this.mutable || (value == null) || opts.force)) {
        throw this.error("cannot set data on read-only (config false) element");
      }

which gave me no clue what I was doing wrong! (I ended up commenting the lines out just to keep going!).

thanks!

The thrown error object has the src and ctx properties that provides more info about where the error was thrown.

You can try/catch (error) and access those properties as error.src and error.ctx

Hope this helps!

It does indeed, thank you!
