Just the text of the panic messages is all that you can hope for in that case. There are also some bugs in the details: - the file and line are not printed in panicstr - the file and line are printed on a separate line - some style bugs, starting with duplicating code to print the line numbers in the newpanic and !newpanic cases despite the previous 2 bugs making the message about the line numbers being independent of newpanic.
