Commit c7aba7c1 didn't add this, but after more fooling with the
feature I feel that it'd be useful.  To make this possible, refactor
getSubscriptingRoutines() so that the caller is responsible for
throwing any error.  (In clauses.c, I just chose to make the
most conservative assumption rather than throwing an error.  We don't
expect failures there anyway really, so the code space for an error
message would be a poor investment.)
