I prefer that exceptions not be thrown as I think they add little value over the simple error code wrapper in the library right now. They also beg the question of what mechanism would be used to trigger the exception. The un-ignorable error type might be an interesting solution however. -- Caleb Epstein caleb dot epstein at gmail dot com
