ah. i was wondering how you'd address this ("this" being non-fatal
errors piling up), as i'm facing the same problem in a project of mine.
the problem is that one can either impose a very rigid formatting (as
you do here), or provide formatting options, which can get arbitrarily
complex. so i wonder whether one shouldn't pursue a hybrid approach
instead: singular return values for low-level functions that either work
or fail fatally, and error callbacks for higher-level functionality?
btw, the switch misses breaks.
