I do not think that we should have the effect of dooming
a transaction without an error message.

Dooming a transactions is a very disruptive global (with respect
to the request) operation -- especially when used inside a module.

It may affect things far outside the scope of the dooming.

Why can you not raise a special exception that you can handle
in a special way inside your error page?
