It's easy to show that a resumable exception system can do everything
that a nonresumable system (like Python's) can do (simply put all of the
recovery logic at the resume point); but the converse is not true.
There are some other fringe benefits to resumable exceptions.
I do a lot of work in a variant of Business Basic that has always
offered resumable exceptions. The closest I get in python is using
import pdb;pdb.set_trace(). I wonder what it would take to allow for
any exceptions occurring outside a try/except context to dump the
traceback, then invoke pdb.set_trace() before bailing to allow for both
investigation and possible recovery and continuance?
