Applying "_safe" seems a bit more consistent to me, as per past
changes like ccff2d20ed96, also looking at the functions that are
given a ErrorSaveContext in input. I am ready to believe that there
are not a lot of callers of the existing _opt_error() routines listed
in numeric.h, so a renaming may be better to let existing callers know
about the change. These predate the introduction of the "_safe"
functions, introduced in 16d489b0fe05.
