-### Common mistakes
+### Good practices
+
+When using meta-programming interfaces, not only data.table's `env` argument, the user is also in control of how the call stack will look like. This affects what appears in error messages and other call stack reportings. The call target is either a named function or an anonymous function.
+
+```{r report_from_where_and_add_one, eval = FALSE}
+report_from_where_and_add_one = function(x) {
+  print(sys.calls())
+  invisible(x + 1L)
+}
+do.call(report_from_where_and_add_one, list(x = 1L))
+# [[1]]
+# do.call(report_from_where_and_add_one, list(x = 1L))
+
+# [[2]]
+# (function(x) {
+#   print(sys.calls())
+#   x + 1L
+# })(x = 1L)
+do.call("report_from_where_and_add_one", list(x = 1L))
+# [[1]]
+# do.call("report_from_where_and_add_one", list(x = 1L))
+
+# [[2]]
+# report_from_where_and_add_one(x = 1L)
+```
+
+```{r raise_exception, eval = FALSE}
+raise_exception = function(x) {
+  stop("a1")
+}
+do.call(raise_exception, list(x = 1L))
+# Error in (function (x)  : a1
+do.call("raise_exception", list(x = 1L))
+# Error in raise_exception(x = 1L) : a1
+```
+
+And data.table use case...
 
 It is important to understand the difference between passing an object and a name that points to an object. See the verbose output of following examples.
