Error message when not having a backend confusing.

I found the error message "ERROR: Function dropdown was about to overflow: check the signature" very confusing when trying to use StatsPlots.dataviewer
(JuliaPlots/StatsPlots.jl#370 ). It seems my mistake was actually that I didn't import Interact
before using StatsPlots.dataviewer
.
Perhaps the message should say something like
"Backend $backend doesn't implement the function $op. Perhaps you haven't imported Interact?".
I'm not sure whether this message would be appropriate in all cases in src/defaults.jl:9
, or only when the backend is the DummyBackend
.
