I'd be inclined to include a glue stack library with an external.  It 
would handle the sugar coating for problems like passing data with 
nulls.  In many cases it would do most of the work and use the external 
for getting to OS services.

In this case, the glue library can throw for its own work and then 
throw for external errors flagged in globals.
