Ran into a confusing bug when trying to call this code:

draw_text(10, 10, string([1, 2]));

I had forgotten to add string as a function to the environment. Catspeak threw this error out:

___________________________________________
############################################################################################
ERROR in
action number 1

for object Object1:

script_execute_ext argument 1 incorrect type (undefined) expecting a Number (YYGI32)
 at gml_Script___catspeak_expr_call__ (line 841) -         return script_execute_ext(calleeIdx, args_);

gml_Script___catspeak_function__ (line 668) -         value = program();
gml_Object_Object1_Draw_0 (line 2) - func();

Figured out what was going on but it'd good to have a clearer error message that'll direct me to the offending function call.

Errors still kind of suck.
