(I'm copying this to eposix mailing list too)

The only other option I see is a global errno variable, like C.

History learns that programmers do not check errors in such
cases. This can lead to security breaches and/or corrupt data.

I also prefer not to think about errors: if there is an error, it is
exceptional, so just quit.

Have you other solutions or suggestions? As exception raising is done
in just one place it's easy to change into an option or something
elese.

Groetjes,
