Merge pull request #9754 from 9999years/print-value-when-coercion-fails
Print the value in `error: cannot coerce` messages (cherry picked from commit 5b7bfd2d6b89d7dd5f54c1ca6c8072358d31a84e) === test taken from 6e8d5983143ae576e3f4b1d2954a5267f2943a49; it was added previously (and not backported because its pr was a mostly-revert), but it's useful to have around.
