I think it will save everybody a little work if you can wait a day or
two so you can address more comments at once. You posted v6 only
about three hours after v5, which isn't enough time for people to
respond to v5.

I'm not going to even look at v6 because it doesn't address some of my
v5 comments. Please wait a few days before v7 to see if Rafael has
any thoughts on where the error driver should live.
