Description

I have a completer object, and it raises some exceptions.
I would like to display the errors raised in it, in the validator bottom bar.
And I do have a custom validator enabled in my prompt session object.
So, any idea on how to do it?

Research direction

Start by tracing how the completer object reports exceptions and how the custom validator is connected to the prompt session. Then inspect the validator bottom bar entry point and determine whether completer errors can be surfaced there; done means the behavior is defined and covered for the reported completer and validator setup.
