## Ways of handling a single method's returns Possible ways to do so off the top of my head, in no particular order:

I don't currently have the time to digest this email in detail, but I wanted to mention an alternative you didn't before I forget: Making the exception an in-out parameter. That would be functionally similar to a return value, but more strongly default to “don't make a change”, because “doing nothing” will just work. i.e.

    public function exitContext(?\Throwable &$e): void {
        // Assign null to suppress.
        $e = null;
    }
