That's the spirit!  Thanks.

I tend to prefer option C (throw a Warning, stop processing, and return
the value up to that point).  Option B (throw a Warning and return FALSE
on unexpected characters) might be cleaner, but we're not that picky
elsewhere, and the return value might not even be checked, and thus
easily misinterpreted as zero.
