I don't think ERR_EXIT achieves your goal, no, and I don't think it
was intended to.

One example of a legitimate use of ERR_EXIT is to implement (shelling
out from) "make -k" where each command is distinct and you want the
build process to stop if one step is incomplete.

I'm going to stop responding anyway, because I'm not interested in the
stated goal.  If others want to pursue this discussion, please go
ahead.
