"--strict" v.s. "|| die" |

If this is the case, I'd say "|| die" is the more intuitive. Devs who |
| 9 |
forget will not appreciate --strict, because it doesn't make much of a |
| 10 |
difference if they had to add --strict or append "|| die". |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
do* et al, should either always die, or be left as they are. |

|

In fact, a "--relaxed" option to those functions makes more sense. |
