I know it can break and all

but that is no problem.
currently there is no other data in those cases, so the debugger can not 
to anything, not even open the unit.

if parsing fails (including codetool verifies if the result makes any 
sense at all), then still nothing happens. same as before.

if in some cases it works, then that is an improvement.
