Description
Originally reported by: Ronny Pfannschmidt (BitBucket: RonnyPfannschmidt, GitHub: RonnyPfannschmidt)
we need a way to filter the bits of a traceback that are framework code
since in normal development they seem to distract from the real problem
i propose a hook+ soma pis to be able to replace sets of traceback entries by synthetic frames that will just output as note that framework frames have been skipped
and of course, the --fulltrace option would opt out of it

Research direction
Start by tracing pytest's traceback rendering and the --fulltrace option. Define the filtering hook, how framework traceback entries are replaced by synthetic notes, and how full tracing bypasses it. Done means framework frames are hidden by default, the synthetic note is shown, and --fulltrace preserves the complete traceback.
