+    // catch_llerrs() on that instance. We decided against it, for this
+    // reason: on extending a test function containing a single call to that
+    // free function, a maintainer would most likely make additional calls to
+    // that free function, instead of switching to an explicit WrapLLErrs
+    // declaration with several calls to its catch_llerrs() member function.
+    // Even a construct such as WrapLLErrs().catch_llerrs(...) would make the

+    // maintainer to extend that by naming and reusing the WrapLLErrs instance.
