I agree to that.
We had a discussion a while ago related to this. There are a lot of
error raised that are not really errors. Raising an error is instead
used as a simple mean to go to top level. I proposed implementing
instead something like
(throw 'top-level msg)
for this, but Stefan replied it would be better implement user-error
for this. I sent a patch for this:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.devel/117892
but it must have hit a black hole or something. Since it is around
again maybe we should consider that now?
