I was kind of wandering whether there exists an API call
that lets me register an error condition in the handle.
Intuitively I was hoping for a call like

  shishi_register_error_state (handle, shishi_errno, err_msg);

which would raise, in the opaque Shishi handle, whatever
error semaphors there might be. Should shishi_parse_name()
be discontent with the given principal name, this would
provide a means for reporting an error exception.
