I do not terribly mind repeated fprintf(stderr, ...) or error() in a
loop, but this aspect of the change is probably among the two things
that make the series shine (the other obviously being bug_if() which
allows us to lose the "did we see any bug?" counter).

OK.

I think the last paragraph is an after-three-dash material.
