Should not found be an error?

[mmalecki]

Right now we if we can't find a document, we call back with an error. However, the error doesn't have too much information in it and user has to match against the message error to find out what happened.

Should we do that? In an ORM-ish/database access layer, not finding the document seems like a pretty normal occurrence, could we just return null as the document?

I see your point.

That will break a lot of things, but it's probably better to reserve errors for actual errors.

I would say yes to making this change in the upcoming version.
