I can do that for in-tree code, and my own packages, but who knows what
else is out there that might try something similar.
But it's probably a better solution than anything else I can think of.
I'd be inclined to just have them return an empty string. Another
possibility would be to have the formatting code wrap the user-function
funcall in `ignore-errors' and return an empty string there.
