The problem there is, exactly what you consider to be "graceful". Since
there is no generally acceptable specification of what to do, there is no
way that anything except raising an exception can be considered "doing the
right thing".

Of course this is unfortunate if it's happening inside a package you are
calling. There one error can mean a whole computation doesn't finish.
