Yes, some sort of success/failure indicator would be nice. A problem with
editing/testing panels on the fly is that if you make a fatal error and
reload the panel, nothing changes. The last good panel remains active.
If you know to look at the console output, you can catch errors. If you
done't know, you'll rip your hair out wondering why your edit didn't
show up.
