If `kind == '#ERROR'`, then `result` is an exception whose attached traceback includes the frame that calls `convert_to_error()` and has `result` in scope. So delete `result` from the scope as we raise it, to save the consumer of these exceptions from having to cope with a buildup of cyclic references.

Yes, we need to do this sometimes with exceptions because the traceback cycles back to the exception through the frame locals sigh. |
