[PATCH v6 04/11] replace: "libify" create_graft() and callees

From
Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
Date

Message-ID
<f2f490b41529327b8fb4214ef4f663b21ee43ed8.1524865158.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1524865158.git.johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>
File this away as yet another patch in the "libification" category.

As with all useful functions, in the next commit we want to use create_graft() from a higher-level function where it would be inconvenient if the called function simply die()s: if there is a problem, we want to let the user know how to proceed, and the callee simply has no way of knowing what to say.
