I guess its a matter of preference.  Proceeding past an error, to me,
means ignore it (just return the error).  The old version retries it
again keeping you in an infinite unless you implemented the missing
method.  We should change it back to that if that's what people want
or maybe we should add a preference for it.

Cheers,
Anthony
