   *  I use an enumeration to distinguish between different error levels.
   *  - nonRecoverable means the internal state of the programme is no longer
   *    well-defined i.e. some memory problem or so.
   *  - recoverable means that in principle we could keep on running, although
   *    most of the time this results in end of run (usually indicates typo in
   *    an input file).
   *  If we start doing GUIs, then the distinction becomes important. Most stuff
   *  should be recoverable.
