Description of feature:
A way for modules to abort for reasons such as configuration errors or unsupported features in storage drivers.
Motivation:
Throwing an error produces a big scary traceback that may be too verbose and scary.

Throw tables as errors with some pre-defined fields? And hide this behind a module:error() API method?

Something like that, yeah. Also thought about catching `return false` from the module body or `module.load()`
