Yes, I agree... Although I still think it's not easy to find a good way 
to send all the information (exception instance + traceback would be 
nice obviously) back over the channel, it would certainly be useful to 
do the minimal (set seperate instance name + message on the RemoteError 
instance for instance) compared to having a single explanation string...
