Ah right, sorry.

It seems like if you wanted to check the hardware limitations then
constructing a temporary texture in order to catch the error would be
quite an awkward way to go about it. Maybe it would be better to have a
separate function to do that? We could leave the constructors without
the error argument for now and then at least we always have the option
to add a separate function later.
