For this kind of situation, I believe we should make a habit of having
always two version of the function:

    int av_foo_get(FooContext *rfoo, const char *name);

    int av_foo_parse(FooContext *rfoo, const char *name, void *log);

The first one just returns an error code, the second one logs a clear error
message (possibly with the detailed explanation of the error, or in this
case the list of accepted strings).

If we can stick to a stable naming convention (maybe _parse is already used
in too much places to serve), that would be a great help.

Any thoughts?
