-    WORKING AROUND GUN WEIRNESS/SUBOPTIMAL (of course, whats weird/sub-optimal to me, might be ideal to someone else)
+    WORKING AROUND GUN WEIRNESS/SUBOPTIMAL (of course, whats weird/sub-optimal to me, might be ideal to someone else) - search the code to see where worked around
 
     WORKAROUND-GUN-UNDERSCORE .once() and possibly .on() send an extra GUN internal field "_" which needs filtering. Reported and hopefully will get fixed
     .once behaves differently on node or the browser - this is a bug https://github.com/amark/gun/issues/586 and for now this code doesnt work on Node
     WORKAROUND-GUN-CURRENT: .once() and .on() deliver existing values as well as changes, reported & hopefully will get way to find just new ones.
     WORKAROUND-GUN-DELETE:  There is no way to delete an item, setting it to null is recorded and is by convention a deletion. BUT the field will still show up in .once and .on,
     WORKAROUND-GUN-PROMISES: GUN is not promisified, there is only one place we care, and that is .once (since .on is called multiple times).
+    WORKAROUND-GUN-ERRORS: GUN does an unhelpful job with errors, for example returning undefined when it cant find something (e.g. if connection to superpeer is down),
+        for now just throw an error on undefined
     Errors and Promises: Note that GUN's use of promises is seriously uexpected (aka weird), see https://gun.eco/docs/SEA#errors
         instead of using .reject or throwing an error at async it puts the error in SEA.err, so how that works in async parallel context is anyone's guess
