Hm, is it useful in the absence of the other components of the proposed
feature?

One stylistic gripe:

@@ -80,6 +80,7 @@ enum config_group
COMPAT_OPTIONS,
COMPAT_OPTIONS_PREVIOUS,
COMPAT_OPTIONS_CLIENT,
+ ERROR_HANDLING,
PRESET_OPTIONS,
CUSTOM_OPTIONS,
DEVELOPER_OPTIONS

Please spell that "ERROR_HANDLING_OPTIONS", both for consistency with
the other enum members and to avoid likely conflicts with other uses of
such a generic-looking identifier.
