And I don't see people having much interest in fixing stuff if we add
more and more crap to make it half working, hide the bugs and even more
difficult to debug but no effort to actually bug people to fix things.
There is also the simpler alternative I had in mind originally:
Always complain when the progress is not INT_MAX at the end, simply
defining that to always be the final value.
