I understand you didn't like my patch because of the cosmetic renaming
it included, but you threw away some of the baby with the bathwater:

> +                       init-file-name)
> +                     'noerror 'nomessage)))

Now the changes I make to `debug-ignored-errors` in my `init.el` are
thrown away :-(
