What should "NSExceptionMask" be implemented as? SHould it be a boolean that determines if we should allow the application to continue or not?
That is to say * NSExceptionMask = YES - report all exceptions, but continue anyway... * NSExceptionMask = NO - current behavior If so, I have a patch almost ready. I'll submit it to the group prior to committing it since a change that is this important needs to have some amount of consensus.
