Would I be right in thinking that the behaviour I'm talking about is
actually orthogonal to the Catalog Mode? It's a more low-level/pragmatic
thing, I think. The Catalog can continue to function as currently defined -
this is just about handling an "out-of-spec" error condition.
Perhaps this could be enabled via a Global Setting, or a system variable?
And would this make it a bit easier to hack into the code?
