Hi, I think this should be generalized in this case, because it's the same for Preferences driven compiler options (assign block argument, underscore assignment, etc... ). The Debugger hook could be in the Exception subclasses.

Or, more frequently, an inline syntax error (#correctFrom:to:with:). I believe it would be overwhelming to put a link there. Also, these preferences aren't designed for beginners, are they? Who wants to use a deprecated syntax?
