proposal: import/errors: structured errors

[borissmidt]

Proposal Details

Currently when we build up errors we get a longer and longer error when we go up the stack.

Ideally we would have structured errors like the slog logger. This would allow us go enrich the error with new attributes to give context.

The advantage of this would be that when you eventually log the error slog could pick up the attributes. It would also become possible to ask the attribute of the error for error handling.

Its still a rough idea and i post this issue to see how the response would be.
