My take on this, purely from user's point of view is to be able to
instruct bash to exit any time any command returns non-zero value unless
the situation is handled in the code. That means inside of

if command;  then ...
or
command || blah

So what you suggested is something I would like to use. If I would to
have command which does not terminate

command || :

If I want to catch the return value

command && RET=$? || RET=$?
OUT=$(command) && RET=$? || RET=$?
