Description

It would be nice to throw some RData-specific exception type instead of error, it can also contain some useful information, like current io position or the name of the top-level element being read.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by locating reader paths in RData.jl that currently throw error, then determine the intended RData-specific exception scope and available context. Done means the issue's exception type is defined and can carry the current I/O position or top-level element while replacing the relevant generic errors.
