What in the world does it mean to "catch" a warning?  If your intention
is to process arbitrary user-defined code while inside the error
subsystem, I can tell you right now that it's unlikely to work.

I can't get excited about hooks that are defined in such a way that
there can be only one user of the hook ... if it's useful to you,
it's probably useful to someone else too.
