That's not necessarily true.  I can think of several situations in
which a hypothetical programmer (possibly even myself) may want to
include a file if it's present, but ignore it if it isn't.

Yes, if it's an important error.  But there are a lot of things that
can go wrong in your computer, and even in your own programs, that you
don't necessarily want to be bothered with.

Anyway, I agree that handling errors well is generally a good thing.
I'm not trying to argue that it's a-okay to use @ instead of doing
things the "proper" way.  I'm just curious about what the unintended
side effects of doing things that way are.  Consider it a
gedankenversuch.

I am seriously stoked that I just used the word "gedankenversuch" in a sentence.
