Subject: Croak on failure of requiring an external pacakge
Brian, I would just assume that Brick->_load_external_packages croaked instead of carping when an attempt to require an external package fails. Just carping can make tracking down a bug that leads to failure of a given external package unnecessarily difficult. I would assume that if I asked for functionality from a given package and it failed, it would be a showstopper. If nothing else, could you create a simple backstop method called something like handle_failure_on_require that would allow us to alter that behavior?
Fixed in 0.223. I guess there's no reason that it shouldn't croak instead of carping.
