Description
#### Investigative information
My question is two-folded:
1) I would like to know if there is a notion of pre-execution and post-execution hooks, meaning:
when a function is invoked, are there hooks exposed that will be called _before and after_ the function handler is invoked?
2) Is there a way by means of a _post-hook_ to catch uncaught exceptions? If not, what alternative can I use, (for example: an Exception Listener)?
#### Repro steps
For example, if I have a function handler like below (which is written in Kotlin), what abilities can I utilise to catch an exception if one occurs, that is not explicitly caught by a try/catch block?
```kotlin
class Function {
fun foobar(name: String?, context: ExecutionContext): String {
// mimicking an uncaught exception
throw Exception()
return "Foobar"
}
}
```
#### Expected behavior
A post-hook interface that creates the ability to implement the interface and define behaviour of pre/post-execution and on exception behaviour, for example:
```kotlin
interface PostExecutionRequestHandler {
fun onException(exception: ExecutionException)
}
```
