When I refer to writing solid code, I'm referring not to the applications,
but to the OS itself. Solid OS code will detect bugs in applications early,
at a point where the app developer can understand what went wrong.

If there are APIs that claim to return error codes in some situations when
they in fact fatal error, we need to update our documentation to agree with
our code. If there is a genuine need to be able to detect the situation and
react to it, then some means of doing so must be provided by the APIs. That
may mean returning an error code rather than giving a fatal error.
