Should thick bindings throw an exception?

Should thick bindings throw an exception?

[Victor Porton]

Should a thick bindings of a C function, which returns non-0 on failure,
instead throw an exception on failure?

By the way, should I define a new exception or use one of language pre-
defined exception?

The description of the C function follows:

int raptor_uri_print (const raptor_uri *uri, FILE *stream);

Print a URI to a file handle.

uri :
	URI to print

stream :
	The file handle to print to

Returns :
	non-0 on failure

Thanks Tom, I was going to write a reply on that line and had forgotten that 
there was one on-line already. Saved me a bunch of time.
