Having had a short glance at the documentation, I missed the motivation. 
Seems like you think it is obvious, but I have not yet understood, what 
a library like this could add to exception handling or returning status 
codes, where exceptions are not acceptable. Up to now I've used 
exceptions for error handling. Why should I prefer to use your library 
instead, or additionally?
