I'm abandoning this one since I couldn't find a way to do it that didn't impair performance.  Unlike C++, it is not uncommon in Python to use exceptions such as IndexError for control flow.  There was too little added value in building-out this message to warrant the change (the current message is very clear about what the problem is, it just doesn't dump all the variables involved -- this is not uncommon for python error messages).
