I thought the whole idea was that functions that don't currently die by default |
| 27 |
because sometimes this is unwanted will now die by default but provide an opt |
| 28 |
out --non-fatal switch to get back the old behavior. In the non-fatal case such |
| 29 |
functions should then again (as in the current situation) not call die. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
Some functions will not have a --non-fatal switch. |
| 32 |
Some functions should not have a --non-fatal switch. |
| 33 |
Some functions will call die unconditionally. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
What is the reason that we are trying to generalize non-fatal from a simple |
| 36 |
switch to a full-blown primitive that should handle whatever it's thrown? |
