Ah, don't forget the SUnits to retest all these rewritten primitives. That would help with folks doing porting.

I have code that allows a prim to return an error code as a virtual method temp. That allows you to check quite precisely what the actual error was _from that prim_. Using the new stuff well requires quite a lot of work to make prims actually return a meaningful value so don't expect it soon. It also requires a recompile of every method calling a prim and quite possibly some work on the external prim calling stuff.
