I'd prefer something like error-dont-debug, because the issue is not
whether it should show a backtrace but whether it is worth trying to
debug the error.
Note that most uses of `user-error' are correct in that they signal
conditions which are usually simply due to a mistaken manipulation
(such as trying to move past the EOB), so I'm only willing to change the
name if it's really significantly better without too many drawbacks.
E.g. `error-dont-debug' is not really a serious candidate.
