    What would the chances be of sometime in the future of getting a patch (or
    getting it integrated into the main tree) so that the
    `expr ! ERR => value' stuff would take any value in place of the error?
    So you could do something like
    x = `#obj:verb() ! E_PERM, E_VERBNF, 0 => 1'; or such
    It seems to me that it would be very useful to add the functionality if it
    would be at little cost.
    TIA
