Happy with the error checking, just wondering how best to indicate the error to the user? Possibly we should have a vollog warning that prints as much of the key name as could be recovered? I'm not sure...
Also, if you want github to auto tag the issues these are supposed to fix, you can't just mention it in the title, you need to put "Fixes #blah" or "Closes #blah" in the bug body, please...

Shouldn't these be None or something else? I don't want the BaseAbsentValues sneaking in here, but it feels like we should be alerting people that things didn't work? The downside with that is then you have to do error checking whenever you try to pull the full key name? Just wondering of the consequences of it returning a value but blank string in case of an error?

That function is called from handles on this line:
Which, in the else case of that same block, the empty string is used to indicate an error:
If it makes more sense, I can change both places (the registry extension + line 318 in handles) to send back None instead of "", then have the yield() handler do the "variable or renderers....." setup. Is that preferred? That avoids the extension API having to send back a renderer instance.

Also, thanks for this:

I am used to GitLab where tagging the number accomplishes it.

Yeah, I think it would be better to return None as a way of indicating an error, and then let the caller figure out what to do with it. Also, no problem. 5;)
