I vote +1. It is needed, and most applications with critical
service requirements (Cocoon included) catch all runtime
exceptions before the system shuts itself down.

Really, the only time we need to change existing code, is when
we are trying to catch exceptions that would kill running threads.

There isn't alot to update, and Cocoon 2 already handles runtime
exceptions from multiple sources--adding another one won't change
it's operation.
Cocoon 2 is on the same general release schedule as Avalon.
So lets get Avalon stabilized with NEEDED features (which this
qualifies) so Cocoon will follow shortly.
