Is it possible to make the Mongo PHP browser throw exceptions, for example PDO PDO :: ERRMODE_EXEPTION?

I prefer that my programs fail early and fail if I neglect error checking for something. Unfortunately, the Mongo extension requires me to constantly check MongoDb->lastError(). Is there an easy way to imitate array(PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE=>PDO::ERRMODE_EXEPTION)using Mongo?

Preferably something that is not related to writing shell classes for everything that I would prefer to do only if I absolutely need it.
