I was just missing some kind of comparison, with and without exceptions.
But i wrote some tests on my own, and if done right it makes the code
shorter, especially for really big applications.
So i will accept your patch, thanks! :)
Maybe it would be a good idea to handle exceptions for authenticate()
and additional_data() too...

IRC is just faster, and noone prevents you from posting the results of
those discussions to the list.
