I agree that would be ideal if you were optimizing for non-C.

But the only way to do that is to replicate the entire API currently
lacking an error indicator, with a second _with_error version of every
function.

Some functions may happen to have some other ad hoc way to do an error
(like returning NULL) but it'd just be some subset without rhyme or
reason.

If you aren't prepared to do the _with_error() replication of the API,
then doing it here and there at random is kinda weird. Either it's
needed or not, it isn't needed here and there at random.
