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)
}
```
