Should crash be the top of ex.err?

One thing I've noticed is that calling crash() causes crash() to be at the head of the ex.err file.

While I understand why this is the case, I suggest that the error should be associated with where the error was thrown, not with the crash() routine.

Although it's technically part of the stack trace, it's not really part of the crash at all.

The exception (of course) is if there is an actual error in crash().

From my lazy developer's perspective, instead of:

This will be helpful not just for me, but for the editor (like wee) which is trying to point me to an error, but instead ends pointing to the wrong thing through no fault of its own.
