Anyway... So what of my actual patch we were discussing at some point? I never got a real answer as to if it would be suitable to commit.

I have changed the subject of the message in an effort to separate the discussion on the "Redirect on Fatal Error" feature (the subject of this email) from the localisation discussion. ... As a reminder, we are discussing a patch that will redirect the user to another page when a fatal or a parse error occurs (parse errors can be caught with lint, fatal can't). The redirection will allow developers to: * Show a decent page to the user (instead of letting them

    see a blank or incomplete page)

* Send a message to themselves that something

    strange has happened (allowing them to react quickly, instead
    of having to install log watch software for notification
    purposes (and many people cannot do that as they do not
    have control over the servers))

As far as I am aware, there is not a single reason not to have this feature. Some people seem not to like it, but that is fine; with no performance or stability risks, if you don't want to use the feature - you won't be affected. On the other hand, I will be extremely happy to have it under my belt as yet another tool I can use to make my software run better. Please don't tell me that I wouldn't need this feature if I programmed perfectly. Errors happen all the time, no matter what you do trying to prevent them.
