So, that is the way to go? The original idea to go with a warning was, that it is not the case that the engine is in an unrecoverable state, thus, the code actually will work in that case, but perhaps produce unexpected results. In general, PHP uses fatals far to often for my taste, but well, to keep it consistent, we can go fatal here, too. Is there a general consensus on that?
