Just playing with an idea for something that might be a more  
achievable request, how about if we could specify a list of  
exceptions that the debugger should NOT break on? The thought is  
prompted a bit by the range of control available in Visual Studio  
over which exception types it catches.

If you're using your own exception subclasses, this gives fairly  
tight control and the list would only be scanned when the debugger is  
handling a break on exception (otherwise it continues as if you  
pressed resume).

I agree, the number of times I've sat stupidly blinking at my code  
when it has stopped at an exception, or break, ....

This is one of those annoying situations where progressing further  
into a good programming practice (robust code using exceptions to  
handle situations) derails a very useful debugging tool.
