Right now you only get an assert in debug mode. I also wonder if more
would be possible. About the event, sure, it is already done, about
the source state, I can't promise anything, but I will have a look at
it.
If I understand correctly, you would be satisfied with an assert or
error message bringing a bit more debug information?
