Caleb,

What is your view on the issue of error handling? Are you happy the way it now stands? Would you prefer exceptions be thrown? Would you prefer a "can't ignore" return error code approach?

Can I just jump in here and say that the discussion about error handling was originally about the asynchronous callback handlers, where the error is a parameter to the handler, not a return code. However, in the case of the synchronous functions the default behaviour is to throw the error, but this behaviour can be modified on a per-call basis. Cheers, Chris
