[stringtemplate-interest] which ST errors are serious

[Terence Parr]

cool. so instead of just emitting an error, you want it to actually throw an exception that terminates ST the evaluation or are you just saying let's make a PENDANTIC value that make sure an error is emitted for everything?

I think you are saying we need a way to get the programmers attention beyond emitting an error message. I think the only way to escalate though is to throw an exception and blast out of the interpreter back to the webpage servlet or whatever.
