Here's a crazy idea: when this switch is in place, it just never 
actually honors your catch handlers.

so then throw Error is the same as an uncaught exception and thus 
trigger the debugger at the throw site instantly.

In real life Errors are rarely this extreme. Most of them 
indicate that the program *would* get into an invalid state if it 
proceeded, but since it stopped before actually executing it, 
things are still fine.
