Perhaps we could get the best of both worlds? We could throw a "divergent integral/sum exception" (that can be two exceptions or one, depending on how you look at what an integral really is...)
This way, the calculus student would see the words "divergent integral" and know what it means. However, the high performance programmer can catch the exception and do... something... with it.
