Well, Emacs is from 1976. People were thinking of it like
programmers. That's actually part of the appeal, even now.

In the user experience sense, it isn't an error, no.
People aren't computers, thanks heaven.

But luckily, this computer/programmer/user discrepancy, which
is unavoidable if one wants to have a common interface, this
particular situation is very easy to solve ... even/especially
with programming!

And the solution spells ... *drumroll* ...

debug-ignored-errors !
