Thanks, that is a really useful tip, I'll keep that in mind since it's
going to come up again. The change in exception behaviour can't be done
in results4 so I think we need a new endpoint anyway. On the other hand
it makes it really tempting to adopt this approach too if migrating from
old results API to the new one is made substantially smoother.
