Assuming you notice that a bug exists. This is a big problem I have
had especially with most interpreted languages. The only way you can
be sure the code is bug free is too regularly test every possible
path, including different error conditions. Otherwise you find that
after a minor but unexpected error condition your previously working
code calls display__error() instead of display_error() and it becomes
a fatal function-not-found error (even if you swear: I didn't change
that line!).
