Unfortunately, the fatal error extensions framework necessarily assumes 
that the exception is fatal and so does not include the machinery to 
perform a thread dispatch or restore the exception frame for additional 
execution. It could theoretically be done in the fatal error extensions 
context, but it would end up being reimplemented for every architecture 
and you'd have to unwind the stack manually. I'm sure there are other 
ragged edges that would have to be smoothed over as well.
