I did a look in the proposed API and it is simple... Personally I think we need to have something like an exception system (you can take a look as GNU Parted does it) so we can even make special handlers in GUI applications and have it handled in different ways. We can offer an default exception handler that could work mostly as you designed. The log part of it, could be done exactly as you designed but error hangling is not flexible enough. -- Otavio Salvador O.S.
