mintmousse.cleanupTraceback

Used to remove unhelpful traces in the traceback. It removes internal Love and MintMousse traces reducing the noise you could see.

Removes internal Love and MintMousse traces from a traceback, leaving only the parts that matter.

This makes error messages much cleaner and easier to read, especially when something goes wrong deep inside your project.

Before: 

stack traceback:
        [love "boot.lua"]:479: in function <[love "boot.lua"]:475>
        [C]: in function 'error'
        MintMousse/logging/logger.lua:98: in function 'error'
        main.lua:5: in main chunk
        [C]: in function 'require'
        [love "boot.lua"]:444: in function <[love "boot.lua"]:173>
        [C]: in function 'xpcall'
        [love "boot.lua"]:492: in function <[love "boot.lua"]:483>
        [C]: in function 'xpcall'
        [love "boot.lua"]:515: in function <[love "boot.lua"]:470>
After: 
Traceback:
    [C]: in function 'error'
    main.lua:5: in main chunk
