Fine, but Robert Dewar's example was divide-by-zero in a user-defined
arithmetic package, and his point was that this divide-by-zero is
analogous to the predefined divide-by-zero, so C_E makes sense. I
suspect Robert would extend that reasoning to say that C_E makes sense
whenever the error is conceptually "violating a constraint". P_E
doesn't make much sense for divide by zero.
