  Thanks, I'll see if I can get it committed in the next day or two.

  I don't see the behavior as magic.  It seems very analogous to str.find()
returning -1 when nothing is found.  The main reason I chose to avoid
failures here was to avoid the costs associated with them.  None instead of
a username as a callback seems to indicate an invalid address as clearly as
a failure object would.

  In this light, do you still object to the existing approach (assume that
at some point, I *will* get around to documenting just how it works, since
this is code meant to be overridden by users).
