Why not. What do you think about that Berend?

On the other hand with the first solution that I suggested
(deciding at creation time of the object if it will raise
exceptions or if it only uses an error variable) we can have
only one set of routines which call a `set_last_error'
routine when an error occur:

  set_last_error (...) is
          -- ...
      do
          last_error := ....
          if exeptions_enabled then
              raise (...)
          end
      end
