OK, so explaining the passive aggressive style with monadic exceptions in a language that already has exceptions does not work. Back to regular exceptions in style 23. I left the monadic version as an academically interesting variation. In the process of returning to basic exceptions, I needed to clarify the tantrum style a little better too.

 Constraints:
 
-- A sequence of functions should not proceed if preconditions aren't
-  met or if errors occur
+- Every single procedure and function checks the sanity of its
+  arguments and refuses to continue when the arguments are
+  unreasonable, throwing an exception
 
-- Core program functions have no exception handling, not even the main function
+- When calling out other functions, core program functions don't check for errors
 
-- The final result of the function chain should show the failure, if one occurred
+- Exception handling occurs only at the top level of a function call chain
