 Review comment:
   I always found pre-emptive logging in util classes problematic. The util 
class never knows much about its context, and whether this exception is, or is 
not, a problem that should show up in the log, with an "ERROR" tag. It might be 
that the class using this is fine with that exception and can recover 
gracefully from that.
   
   Because of that I would not log here and leave it up to the 
`exceptionHandler` to log the exception.
   
   Another thing is that exceptions in the log coming from 
`ThrowableCatchingRunnable` are hard to attribute to any context, because the 
class name is non-descriptive about the context.
