Not necessarily. I've seen quite a lot forth code that prints some messages with .( text to indicate some progress ) that is definitly not an error message.

Editing the source files builds a rather high barrier for your excellent tool. For me your ideas sound like introducing concepts like Design By Contract (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_by_contract).
