1298	opcodes, warnings, and exceptions	particle	whiteknight	"the api for opcodes needs review, especially with regard to the
response to exceptional behavior. for example, the documentation for
B<length> in src/ops/string.ops reads:

{{{
=item B<length>(out INT, in STR)

Set result $1 to the length (in characters) of string $2.
If $2 is NULL or zero length, zero is returned.
}}}

however, if a null string is passed in to length, the user should get
some notification of an exceptional condition. *at least* a warning,
and possibly a fatal exception.
