Afterthought:  There is a piece of conventional wisdom that says 
"Pick an error handling strategy and stick to it."  Quesa has an 
established error handling strategy, which is to report errors by 
function result codes (usually kQ3Failure or NULL) and the 
error/warning/notice callbacks.  That's probably not what I would 
choose if I were designing a graphics engine from scratch today, but 
that's what we have.
