Provide as much diagnostic information as possible in "panic: ..." messages.
The convention is that when the interpreter dies with an internal error, the message starts "panic: ". Historically, many panic messages had been terse fixed strings, which means that the out-of-range values that triggered the panic are lost. Now we try to report these values, as such panics may not be repeatable, and the original error message may be the only diagnostic we get when we try to find the cause. We can't report diagnostics when the panic message is generated by something other than croak(), as we don't have *printf-style format strings. Don't attempt to report values in panics related to *printf buffer overflows, as attempting to format the values to strings may repeat or compound the original error.
