Description

Trait `CRegExp` discards the exception when compiling a regular exception, and that contains useful debugging information:
https://github.com/ipython/traitlets/blob/3164ffb43167e9d1688046fbe0aefa424af5b58d/traitlets/traitlets.py#L2883-L2889

This is the error message produced on bad regular-expressions:

the CRegExp of MyClass.regex expeted a regular expression, not the str '^('.

An obvious change to preserve the original exception would be:
```python
def validate(self, obj, value):
try:
return re.compile(value)
except Exception as ex:
self.error(obj, value, ex)
```
But unfortunately the error message becomes incomprehensible:

The 'regex' trait of a MyClass instance contains which expected , not the str 'missing ), unterminated subpattern at position 0'.

In #466 things are better (but still cannot make the TestCases to pass):

the str '^(' caused an error in the CRegExp of MyClass.regex because unknown group name 'm' at position 3.
