How to get last error message from REPL?

Is there a quick way to re-display the last error message from REPL, without the stacktrace?

julia> sqrt(-1)

sqrt will only return a complex result if called with a complex argument. Try sqrt(Complex(x)).

julia> err.stack[1].exception
DomainError(-1.0, "sqrt will only return a complex result if called with a complex argument. Try sqrt(Complex(x)).")

so err here is a system generated variable? I often times use it in my code for numerical error value. It looks like my err will be overwritten in REPL if an error occurred: I guess this is something to live with? Not a big deal though. Thanks.

julia> err=1e-3

If your own errs are in functions or any other delimited scope, there is no conflict between them.
