That's funny: I thought you were a proponent of exceptions because I read (a lot of years ago) a mail from you which said "who is going to check that printf failed"?
And this remain true: a lot of things can fail (arithmetic operations, every IO, etc) so the error system must be very "lean" otherwise the "happy path" is drowned in the error propagatio/handling code..
