I know this list isn't really for linking stuff, but I found this article
earlier today:
http://zenol.fr/site/2013/08/27/an-alternative-error-handling-strategy-for-…
It's about C++, but what it describes is very relevant to our error
handling since we use the exact same pattern (via the Status class) except
in PHP.
Right now MediaWiki is a big mix of the three patterns: sometimes functions
return false on error, sometimes they throw exceptions, and sometimes they
return a Status object with error info.
