yeah, what I have done here is too complex with no reason. I've simplified this
code now.

I've removed it.

Hm... First, since we have proper error code, do not see why not give it.

Second, this is not exactly internal error, in some cases user tries to parse
corrupted data on purpose. So for user it is not an internal error, error from
deep below, but error on the level he is currently working at. So I would not
call it internal error.

Fixed it

Oh! This should not go to the final patch :-( Sorry. Removed it.

I were going to add documentation when this patch is commited, or at least
approved for commit. So I would know for sure that function definition would
not change, so had not to rewrite it again and again.

So if it is possible I would write documentation and test when this patch is
already approved.

I've found and removed some. Hope that was all of them...
