I want a new option to make `soelim` die horribly (exit with an error status)
if any inclusion fails.
I keep stepping on rakes because it doesn't, and I assumed it did.
Sometimes you want to fit engineers with a shock collar labelled "FAIL FAST,
FAIL HARD", and dip one's hand in Gatorade (or Brawndo!) wile handling the
thumb-operated control stick.
Maybe that's just me.
