fair enough. but in the absence of that solution, the one thing i would
greatly appreciate is a modification to
zend_parse_parameters (a new parameter ?) to either :
 1.)  return the text of error messages without raising a warning 
itself.
that way i can raise an IllegalArgumentException or somesuch myself
 2.)  create and raise an IllegalArgumentException (or just Exception) 
of
its own.

happen
(with the new parameter). so barring that, im in the position of either
Why don't use just throw an exception yourself in your extension code?
