I am agnostic. We can either have the previous state or the new state,
I'm keen to resolve the memory leak. Another alternative is to warn
that multiple errors have occurred before dropping or printing the
previous error. As the code is shared in memory places the approach
taken here was to try to not conceal anything that could potentially
be useful. Given this, is the preference to keep the status quo
without any warning?
Thanks,
