i'm not sure that's what one wants, in general.
depending on the protocol and the use case, you may
want to
(a) panic
(b) print (carefully)
(c) wait for the resource to become available.

i'd be afraid of transforming a simple, automaticly
recoverable problem into something that just wedges
the machine with prints to the console and no progress.

i've never seen a machine panic for this reason.
