I don't agree. I'm not in a huge hurry to fix all the places where
pgbench currently lacks error checks just because I don't have enough
to do (hint: I do have enough to do), but when we're adding more
complicated syntax in one particular place, bringing the error checks
in that portion of the code up to scratch is an eminently sensible
thing to do, and we should do it.
Also, please stop changing the title of this thread every other post.
It breaks threading for me (and anyone else using gmail), and that
makes the thread hard to follow.
