Here is an example of an automatic error sonification:
preProcessor = { |str|
try { str.interpret.postln } { |err|
Pbind(\freq, Pseq(err.reportError.errorString.ascii * 10 + 300), \dur, 0.01).play
}
};
now every error is played as a beautiful earcon^^
try
1 + f
should be easy in Scheme, even better, because you have the structure of your expression available directly.

However, to keep that readable at more extreme angles you will need to make it be affected by lighting to tell the sides from the front, and by that time the readability of your errors will depend on the lighting of the scene.... I tried and while it looks nicely "movie-poster-like" it's not so practical.
