Sorry, I was really sick all weekend and really busy the last couple
of days.

I'd prefer either a more helpful error message or zsh's usual behavior
of treating it as NOT an error (e.g. just returning an empty string)

someone else (hi, PWS?) were on record as [dis]agreeing with me before
a choice is made.
