Is there some reason why the other choice mentioned --- catching an error from load and then re-signaling it with the additional information about the system --- cannot be used?
Sorry that I didn't make it clear, no there's no reason at all.
Actually nevermind, I was entirely confused and thereby needlessly confusing in the previous mail -- I, for some reason assumed that changing the status quo implies we'd have to get rid of the precise condition. Yes, there's entirely no reason for not catching FILE-ERROR /within/ ASDF, instead of proactively preventing it (in a racy manner). -- regards, Samium Gromoff -- "Actually I made up the term 'object-oriented', and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind." - Alan Kay (OOPSLA 1997 Keynote)
