@FaheemMitha no I didn't as I didn't see a big advantage of showing yet another example (and there are many l3keys examples on the page), and the l3keys example would've been identical to the expkv-def one (modulo the different key defining syntax, and the expl3 naming conventions).

@yo' Yes, I can definitely see that too. Errors are definitely the think that most trip up new users.
@yo' Would Overleaf have got to 10 million using -halt-on-error I doubt it. :)
