The whole ignore-and-return-early-if-an-error-occured concept is nice
and make this easy to understand and use. I have a few nits in the
following, but the overall concept is nice.

The concern here is when it will be cleaned up. As a minimum please
consider adding an item to todo.rst that details what should be done
to get rid of the now obsolete chatty functions so someone can pick it
up.

I see no point in using ratelimited and then change it in the next
patch.

Inline comments is - I think - preferred.
