New See? Whether it is an error IS ambiguous!
I have come to believe that idealism without discipline is a quick road to disaster, while discipline without idealism is pointless. -- Aaron Ward (my brother)
New I think I know what to do then
My first instinct was to say you return errors or throw exceptions, but not both. I wasn't able to articulate a good reason for it though. But your formulation works for me: An exception is a language-specific mechanism for handling errors. If I start from that, there isn't any reason to use both interchangeably.

     Question about exceptions - (drewk) - (31)
         Lots of discussions about that - (FuManChu) - (6)
             That only goes for one kind of exceptions! - (CRConrad) - (1)
                 What does the "checked" mean to you? - (FuManChu)
             But he's saying that you should use both - (drewk) - (3)
                 My rule of thumb is, - (Arkadiy)
                 Pick one and stick with it. - (admin)
                 You can do both (or more accurately: either) with or without - (FuManChu)
         Re: Question about exceptions - (JimWeirich) - (23)
             Nice point about responsibility, but grey areas abound - (FuManChu) - (11)
                 Re: Nice point about responsibility, but grey areas abound - (JimWeirich) - (10)
                     No, we don't - (drewk) - (9)
                         The difference is simple - (ben_tilly) - (8)
                             Problem with that - (drewk) - (4)
                                 See? Whether it is an error IS ambiguous! -NT - (ben_tilly) - (2)
                                     I think I know what to do then - (drewk) - (1)
                                         Exactly -NT - (ben_tilly)
                                 Re: Problem with that - (JimWeirich)
                             Thats the sort of logic that makes me wary of exceptions. - (static) - (2)
                                 Exceptions are one form of Continuation - (ChrisR) - (1)
                                     Icon's generators rely on the failure model. - (static)
             Disabling assertions - (ChrisR) - (3)
                 That's one of the points he raised - (drewk) - (2)
                     Expense is relative - (ChrisR)
                     Re: That's one of the points he raised - (JayMehaffey)
             DbC? -NT - (drewk) - (6)
                 Design by Contract - (Yendor) - (5)
                     Not the same thing. - (admin) - (4)
                         That's not strictly Eiffel; - (jake123) - (3)
                             It's built into Eiffel - (admin)
                             It is DESIGN by Contract after all - (JimWeirich) - (1)
                                 As you say - (jake123)
