Description

I couldn't figure out how to attach data to a throw in Vimscript.

Right now the code passes the test suite correctly, but does not provide useful error messages like the parinfer.js API or other ports.

There must be some idiomatic way to do this in Vimscript.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate idiomatic error handling in Vimscript, focusing on how to attach data to exceptions. Review Vim documentation on 'throw' and 'try' commands, and examine other Vim plugins for patterns. Implement error feedback similar to the parinfer.js API.
