I ran into this problem during development today.  What if the error
message concluded with the native type of the "found" value.  Like this:

ERROR: Type error: `number' expected, found `1' (an atom)

I realize this doesn't address the larger issue of portray + quoted, but it
would have clearly resolved the ambiguity in my work today.
