Until we read the callers it is hard to see how such a feature is
useful, though.

(style) The two multi-line comments are formatted differently.

The {} looks somewhat curious here.  If you seeked to the beginning,
and failed to truncate, do you still want to go on without "return"
in front of the error()?  Would that overwrite existing entries?
