--- Comment #6 from Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini at oracle dot com> 2013-03-27 19:28:09 UTC --- I haven't tested anything so far, but stared a bit at the comment before permerror and figured tgat in case of plain error (vs warning) the function returns false thus the behavior would change. Besides that, empirically, I see around in the front end permerrors folliwed unconditionally by informs (actually that observation came first ;)
