    I wonder if we should save the last exception, and throw it if we don't 
find the block in any of the locations.  that would be more consistent with the 
old behavior (throw an exception), but then again, the api returns an option, 
so maybe we should just swallow all exceptions and return `None` as you have 
here.  Also now I see what Sean meant earlier when he suggested pushing this 
down into `fetchBlockSync`.  It looks as if this method is expecting 
`fetchBlockSync` to return null when it encounters an error, so maybe we should 
just change the behavior there after all.  @aarondav any thoughts?  I'm leaning 
towards pushing it into `fetchBlockSync` -- have it swallow the exception and 
return null. (this is the only use of `fetchBlockSync`.)
