Description
Would it be possible to trace all exceptions including stacktrace with such a filter or are there principal issues with such an approach?
I could imagine that recording all exceptions before a process crashes could be interesting to find the actual root cause much faster without a debugger.
Especially when the process is swallowing some fatal ones before.
