Description

Can error responses have an explanation of what went wrong. Like say 'USA;NJ' is a valid context, but 'NJ' is supplied, can we get something like 'Improper context: two levels required, one given.' or the like? It would make debugging systems that use confighub a lot easier.

Research direction
