Customizing error behavior

Is there any way to customize the behavior of the various `Error`s
generated by Druntime? On Windows it's possible to redefine the error
functions, such as onOutOfMemoryError or onRangeError, in your
executable to let them override the ones defined in Druntime. However,
on other systems that just leads to a duplicate symbol linker error.
The reason I'd like to modify the behavior is twofold:
- The output to `stderr` is lost in our setup (GUI application)
- The point of failure after an error was thrown inside of a fiber
(vibe.d task) is not the place where it was raised, but the place where
it was caught (at a subsequent `abort()` call)
If there is currently no way, could those symbols be changed to weak
linkage to enable the Windows approach on other platforms?
