Sure.

As I've mentioned before (to a very similar remark) error handling
first is not the traditional pattern, at least not for me.

Traditionally (to me) the else case is the error case. This
is just how humans work. E.g. if I need help for something
saying something like:

"If you have time can you help me with this please? Otherwise
I'm afraid that I am never going to solve this."

Feels natural, where as saying it like this:

"If you do not have time I'm afraid I am never going to solve
this, otherwise can you help me with this please ?"

Feels quite unnatural, at least to me.

"Vbus", I'll try to fix this up everywhere.
