It was intentional. If the block definition is bad, it prints out the 
problem and exits. The other possibility is to print the error, not 
parse that block which contained the error, and continue loading.

My worry was that if somebody (including myself) makes a bad block, the 
error would be missed or overlooked when the program opens, so rather, 
it just exits with error.

Any strong opinions on this (error vs warn)? Either way is ok with me, I 
just want it to be most useful for the majority of users.
