And in CS it's common practice then to give an error or warning... I
don't see what your problem is with adding a warning to stderr in such
cases. Just silently truncating at the point where you cannot find a
good way to parse something anymore is a pretty lame resolution, not
unprecedented in the world of programming (think PHP at least), but
still.
