I think it's appealing for me in implementing it, and it's very logical,

We'll have to see. It'd work for me, in general, but other ought to chime in here.

Others?

That seems reasonable.  Maybe default to throwing an object but allow a
pluggable error handling subroutine reference?  And maybe also a
convenience option to turn off exceptions and just return undef/0 (like
DBI's RaiseError).

Yes, that's what I was thinking, along with a PrintError, just for those who actually like warnings.
