How does one handle errors with MESH?

To handle errors in HTMX, I like to use config from [0] to swap responses into error dialogs and `hx-on-htmx-send-error` [1] and `hx-on-htmx-response-error` [2] to show the dialogs. For some components, I also use an `on-htmx-error` attribute handler:

    // https://htmx.org/events/
    document.body.addEventListener('htmx:error', function (event: any) {
        const elt = event.detail.elt as HTMLElement
        const handlerString = elt.getAttribute('on-htmx-error')
        console.log('htmx:error evt.detail.elt.id=' + elt.getAttribute('id') + ' handler=' + handlerString)
        if (handlerString) {
            eval(handlerString)
        }
    });

This gives very good UX on network and server errors.
