Is it possible to retrieve the last error? (not error *message*)

Hi,

at the R prompt, is it possible to retrieve the last error (as in
condition object of class "error")?

I'm not asking for geterrmessage(), which only returns the error
message (as a character string).  I'm basically looking for a
.Last.error or .Last.condition, analogously to .Last.value for values,
which can be used when it is "too late" (not possible) to go back an
use try()/tryCatch().

 I'm wondering if this delivers what you expect:

Thanks,
