That's true. Of course, we could also just have variants of those
functions that return NULL instead of signaling an error, or whatever
we want the behavior to be.
I don't know what the right thing to do is here. I'm not deeply
opposed to this feature, but I'm not deeply in favor of it either.
There's no big problem with it, but also no particular reason to do
it.
