Thank you for fixing that, and sorry about the oversight.

It prompts the question why we are so permissive in the first place -- a nil 
handler is malformed and always a mistake. Raising an error is probably more 
helpful. Although someone may be relying on this undocumented behaviour it 
sounds unlikely. Given that it has elicited a byte-compiler warning for a very 
long time (probably something like 17 years), we ought to be forgiven for 
turning it into an error now, wouldn't we?
