I can do that if that is your preference of course. I have even
considered that but then I have got to this...

and I really didn't know what to do about that. On one hand the error
has been ignored already, on the other hand it is just too ugly to
ignore it when we do provide a return value. Moreover I can see how
somebody would like to clean that up later and I am not sure what are we
going to do about it in callers.

But by all means, I will go the way you maintainers prefer.
