I frequently see the sentiment among FP programmers that they'd like to have a language where partial functions didn't compile. I don't think you'd want to use such a language (just yet). Thread with lots of subjective opinions:
I generally go for 'total' where possible but I don't worry too much if all I can achieve is 'covering'. It's surprising how often 'total' is achievable though.
