Better error messages

[mgiuffrida]

As a new user working through orgguide.txt, the Vim and Python error messages from trying out commands are rather daunting.

At least the second example below ends with a more useful suggestion, but the traceback still isn't necessary.

Examples:

[normal mode] type <LocalLeader>d

Error detected while processing :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "C:\Users\Michael\vimfiles\bundle\vim-orgmode\ftplugin\orgmode\_vim.py", lin
e 41, in r
    res = f(*args, **kwargs)
  File "C:\Users\Michael\vimfiles\bundle\vim-orgmode\ftplugin\orgmode\_vim.py", lin

    res = f(*args, **kwargs)

    res = f(*args, **kwargs)

Hm, sorry for that. I'm not maintaining vim-orgmode actively anymore and I'm afraid there's currently no workaround for this unsatisfactory behavior.
