Description

As reported on Slack by @expandingman, the suggested interactive reflection using err objects is apparently broken:

Hint: catch this exception as `err` and call `code_typed(err; interactive = true)` to introspect the erroneous code with Cthulhu.jl

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the code path for interactive reflection of caught exceptions in CUDA.jl, focusing on the interaction with Cthulhu.jl.
