If we want to announce the errors to the main thread, we can use
methods other than signaling an error. For example, we could inject
a special event into the input queue, similarly to how we produce
help-echo and other special events.
Fsignal is a very blunt weapon, its main effect is to throw to top
level. Why would we want to do that _in_the_main_thread_ when the
problem happened in another thread? That's disruptive, and could even
mean that the user will lose their edits. Not nice, IMO.
