Why do we want a crash handler? In other words, what can't Euphoria do that
you need to be able to do?


For me, the primary answer to this question is to be able to handle things
that Euphoria knows nothing about. For example, saving the current database
transaction, or anything that would make the next restart easier for the
program's user.

I don't regard being able to automatically restart as being a priority
issue. I would be quite contented if the crash handler could not return
control to the program.

I don't regard being able to know what caused the crash handler to be
invoked as a high priority. It would be nice but not essential.
