lol!
I have a similar problem in designing the implementation of a toy language: the 
issue is that users of the runtime are, for instance, lib developpers, which 
own users are developpers in the source language beeing implemented, for their 
own final users...
This makes it rather abstract to think at what is, or should be, the 
realisation of an error spit by the runtime. It cannot be a normal error from 
the implementation language, and also not an error of the source language. I 
had to write my own // error system.
