So this code relies on fact there would be no exception in 'writeFile', 'fs.write' or any other called function. And if I try to change those, I should keep in mind that sometimes I can throw exceptions and sometimes I don't, like here:
if (!Buffer.isBuffer(buffer)) { // legacy string interface (fd, data, position, encoding, callback) callback = arguments[4]; position = arguments[2]; assertEncoding(arguments[3]); buffer = new Buffer('' + arguments[1], arguments[3]); offset = 0; length = buffer.length; } assertEncding throws an error, but you just know that there would be a buffer if it is called from 'writeAll'... Is that so?
