Seems like the best compromise with the broken nature of the real world IT environment. OK, I can live with that too. Same here. This lets the application specify globally what should happen (exception, warning, ignore via the warnings filters) and should give enough context that it doesn't become a mysterious error in the program.

The per method addition of an errors argument so that this isoverridable locally as well as globally is also a nice touch but can be done separately from this step.
