One other tiny nit that is helpful in a die() function:
It isn't necessarily true that "die" always gets invoked
from the main process.  If it gets invoked from a subprocess
for any of a variety of reasons, this:

+die() { warn_ "$@"; exit 1; }

won't work.  I use this (more or less) as a standard template:

readonly progpid=$$
die() {
    warn_ "$@"
    kill -9 $progpid
    exit 1
