I don't know about that, but I do recommend you carefully consider each
use: throwing all errors to /dev/null is sometimes the right thing to
do, but if errors really shouldn't happen (and yet, you want to protect
yourself from bugs in other packages), then it's better to use something
like with-demote-errors, so errors don't get in the way but they aren't
hidden under the carpet.
