Correct me if I'm wrong, but this is responding to the opening
question of `throw AssertError` vs `printBacktrace; exit(-1);`
right? Rikki's and Jonathan's current proposition is that
`finally` blocks must still always be executed when an `Error`
bubbles up through a `nothrow` function, for better error
logging. Your custom assert handler is nice, but would work just
as well when a couple of destructors are skipped as far as I can
tell.
