| The current version prints a warning message if the

| do you think that an exception is necessary? Not sure myself.
i guess it is better than nothing, but it would be nice to at least
have the option to have an exception raised. (i would consider it a
malfunction for, say, a password-changing program to echo the
password in the clear.)
