Description
Right now it's impossible to use "get_inits" when a model fails, it will be nice to be able to extract the initial values somehow. Bob mentioned that it's not a good idea to return broken fit object. This can be solved if there's an option to log the errors in an external file, and get all the characteristics of the broken model, between them the initial values.

(Sorry I don't know how to add labels and mark it as a feature request/enhancement)
Thanks!
