 Since catching an exception has a side effect of stack rewinding,
 and some people rather prefer keeping the ability to get a full stack
 trace (which may or not be possible for uncaught exceptions: it seems
 possible with g++ and SunStudio; not for clang++), this feature should
 be able to be disabled (and probably should be disabled by default
 except for clang++).
