Pass type information to `format_exception` from `transform_errors` for primitive types

Description
In #258, __notes__
were added to support passing AttributeValidationNote
and IterableValidationNote
around. transform_errors
uses these notes to pass the target type when calling format_exception
. This works well in most cases, except for primitive types.
Feature Request
I want to be able to customize my format_exception
function so that I know the exact target type of the exception without needing to inspect the error message. If I understand it correctly, in the current design, __notes__
is only set on exceptions that are raised when structuring an iterable or class, but is not for types like int
, float
and etc.
