Ok, I can live with a pragma. :-) However, I do think that "system" is
too nebulous and sounds like you're concentrating on the machine. Maybe
"calls", "errors", "returns", "funcs", "builtins", "errnos", or
something else that says "we're paying attention to function return
codes".

Excellent. Just keep it away from my one-liners. :-)
