Not my favorite approach. I am inclined to go in Andrews direction.
Does Andrew's approach break anything? I don't think so. In all
of his three cases, our "if ($exception)" still has the same truth value.
Any counterexamples I am missing?
I think the other approach (diff files and requiring users to patch)
could be a major hurdle in the install process. People just don't
want to think about such issues.
Cheers,
Christian
