"Error: Cannot find module" output should include filename

See original GitHub issue

When using browserify and there’s a problem with the path to a module, I get error output like:

Error: Cannot find module 'module' from '/dir/subdir'

There may be any number of files in subdir that were trying to require the module. It would be really helpful for the error output to include the filename that contained the require() call instead of just the path to the dir it resides in.
