I haven't addressed the comments yet, but wanted to respond: yes, it's unsafe 
and I was wondering what folks would rather see, so thanks for bringing it up! 
I indeed only consumed errors that we encountered, and in that sense the code 
isn't bug-compatible with what we had before. Seems like you'd want 
`consumeError` in most places, which I can certainly do.

Indeed! That's a pretty terrifying thing... but I'm not signing up to address 
*that* particular issue :)
