Improve error handling in parameter operations

[MaxGhenis]

The parameter operations module has several areas where error handling could be improved:

1. In , there are bare except blocks that catch all exceptions, making debugging difficult.
2. The error messages aren't specific enough about what went wrong or how to fix it.
3. Generic ValueError exceptions are used instead of specific error types.

Proposed Solution

Create a new class that:

• Includes the full parameter path that was requested
• Specifies exactly which part of the path failed
• Provides better guidance for bracket syntax errors
• Suggests similar parameter names when there's a near match

This will make debugging parameter-related issues much easier for users and developers.
