    Firstly I don't want getKeyPath to throw because:
1) It only adds more info to true failure description (the thrown exception 
object), so even if it does fail its a lesser error. I just want to skip 
that info in such case and throw real exception.
2) It is acceptable for it to fail. If the key handle is invalid (because it 
was prematurely closed for example) then the function fails but it is OK. 
Again I want to prevent original error.
