No. That is not the point. Read the rest of my email !

We need to -sanitize- those errors. _Maybe_ exposing LMB_ERROR is the
right way to do so, but in that case, we need to make -all- function use
the same error code. Right now, some fail with 0 and some with
LMB_ERROR.

You are also not responding to my other comments such as:
