I suppose that would be the squeaky-clean way of doing
things, especially since the documentation explicitly
mentions the old behavior of calling `error`.
But most people view this as a bug fix. It seems highly
unlikely that anyone would really want the old behavior
for anything.
Personally, I would be happy either way, as long as it
finally gets fixed.
