Indeed. I think it's better to change the existing functions and break
compatibility instead of adding the raise_ functions. But the
committer will decide if that's what should be done. Since you wrote
the patch with raise_* I propose you keep it that way for now and let
the committer decide. I wrote the doc patch based on raise_* as well.

Attached is the doc patch (made on top of your patch). I'll wait for
you to combine them and switch to raising Error and then hopefully
this is ready for a committer to look at.
