 > If you only need coarse-grained fatal-error handling (e.g. calling exit
 handlers),

 And, in fact, that's all that should be attempted. Fine-grained error
 handling is largely pointless given that you cannot safely call GRASS
 library functions once a fatal error has been triggered (library functions
 are not required to ensure that internal data structures are in a
 consistent state before generating a fatal error).
