If efficiency is really the goal, then the OP probably shouldn't go the
route of Exceptions. Just use a simple trigger_error() and your php.ini
to direct where the error messages go. Especially in this case...
because errors here are likely just because someone added / removed an
extra "|" where it didn't belong.

In my opinion you should save exceptions for, well, EXCEPTIONal
problems. Either that or you use exceptions for a large system that
discriminates against specific types of errors and handles each error
type in a totally different way. Can we say bloat?
