I am not working on this, but note that "this" in context meant working on
a method of handling errors in invalid files in terms of control flow, not
in terms of #833697 itself.

It's more of a case of spending 10-15 minutes thinking about the right
abstraction layers for clean a solution for diffocope / Python reall,
rather than something truly difficult or time-consuming.

One for the "shower" then then keyboard, if you know what I mean… :3  As
an aside, this bug could be cloned to avoid confusing the "bug" and the
"wishlist".

(Saying that, you've reminded me of the problem so inspiration may strike
in the next few days.)
