There's some lack of consensus on what the right thing to do is if you can't print an error to stderr -- either bail entirely or quietly stew. Seems in es' case there could be some benefit to trying to throw an error instead of just exiting, for the usual unwinding reasons?
Surely there must be a better way to handle broken writes than simply imploding.
