Failure to create a -object is a fatal error. However, we delay the actual exit until all -object are processed. On the one hand, this permits detection of genuine additional errors. On the other hand, it can muddy the waters with uninteresting additional errors, e.g. when a later -object tries to reference a prior one that failed.
We generally stop right on the first bad option, so do that for -object as well.
