Description

It would be great if Forge allowed applications to provide a delegate that Forge would invoke, each time any exception is thrown and caught by Forge. That way the application can alter state/prepare of the exception. In my case, if the machine is low on memory (causing OutOfMemoryException), I want to kill the process and don't want Forge to finish walking the tree, so that it can resume walking on a new machine.

Research direction

Start by locating Forge's tree-walking entry point and the code that catches exceptions. Trace how caught exceptions affect persisted state and resuming on another machine. Done means applications can provide a delegate invoked for each exception Forge catches, including the low-memory case described.
