Comment (by omry):

 die was just an example of a problem with the plugin activation.

 I am not sure what was the actual error in my plugin that caused the
 misleading error message to appear.

 what I am really interested in is a way for a plugin to fail activation
 and to provide the user some error message.

 naturally in such a case, the plugin should end up deactivated.
 how would I achieve something like this?
