The usual convention is to provide an alternative "question" method to signal that this variant of the method returns `nil` instead of raising. This lets the user choose whether she wants to deal with exceptions or with `nil`. Note, however, that this is not available for every method out there, as exceptions are still the preferred way because they don't pollute the code with error handling logic.
