But you didn't succeed because something's wrong and thus on the way out
you must mention to the poor user what that might be. I suppose if we
had a leave() function, you could get something like 'warn "can't
install without ..."; exit 0' from 'leave "can't install without ..."',
but we don't because a successful program doesn't have anything to say
because there's nothing wrong.
