This was my previous understanding of ON_ERROR_STOP. Somewhere in the
course of developing this patch I lost that. Glad to have it back.

The only changes I made were to invalid booleans on if/elif, and the final
branch balancing check won't set status to EXIT_USER unless it's
non-interactive and ON_ERROR_STOP = on.
