We have code that previously triggered error handlers or got caught by exceptions and now will not trigger the handler nor get caught. If only fatal errors had been converted this would not be an issue, but some non-fatals were converted (TypeException) and now we have this issue. Why is that less of an issue than catching *all* exceptions?
