Suspenders?  Really?

I do not mind keeping these two lines as belt-and-suspender, though.
    
Yup...I couldn't think of an appropriate title and I expect this
patch to be edited (for another reason) or thrown out anyways.
  
Please don't do that.  Use of metaphors makes the code harder to follow,
especially for non-native speakers.  In this case you confused me, a
British/NZ native speaker because you only used half of the idiom; so
all I was left with was a word which in the English where I speak refers
to a piece of clothing worn most often by prostitutes and people at the
Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Can I suggest "snapshot error handling" as a more neutral term...
