Turns errors like:

let
  somepkg.src = throw "invalid foobar";
in somepkg.src.meta

error:

             |    ^

       error: expected a set but found a string: "I'm not an attrset"

into:

let

in somepkg.src.meta

error:
       … while evaluating the attribute 'src.meta'

       error: expected a set but found a string: "I'm not an attrset"

For the low price of an enumerate() and a lambda you too can have the
incorrect line of code actually show up in the trace!
