Panel-less traceback handler?

[pbsds]

The border around the rich tracebacks is kind of annoying, as it gets in the way when i want to copy text, and it doesn't go well with terminal resizing. Is it possible to disable the panel/border of the traceback handler?

I was looking for for something similar: removing the border on Markdown code blocks, ones that are also encapsulated inside a Panel and I was surprised to see that there is no empty/null box, so it is impossible to have a panel without borders... :p

FWIW, it's relatively striaghtforward to create a Box that has no borders and use it with Panel:

EMPTY = Box("    \n" * 8, ascii=True)
rich.print(Panel(Text("Hello!"), box=EMPTY))

It still has an additional padding of 1 character all around; since this is basically setting all the "box" characters to be... well... .

Ideally, there'd be a way to pass box down from Traceback to Panel, and a box.NOTHING that served as a box that returned '' values for all actual entries within Box. :)

Cross-referencing #2717 (reply in thread), where @willmcgugan has expressed willingness to accept a PR for the change as requested:

I'd also accept a PR for a no-panel switch on Traceback. Probably not a "empty" box though, as that will add whitespace and I'll get folk complaining about that.
