How do you catch these exceptions in a flowscript? I tried a simple
try{sendPageAndWait(some-page-with-an-error)}
catch(){sendPageAndWait(some-custom-error-page}
but the catch never caught an exception. Instead I just got the standard
error page in the browser.

Does this mean that we cannot catch the exception from the flowscript?
That would be bad.

I personally would be happy if the flowscript could catch errors as
exceptions and create its own responses, such as sending an alternate page
or an error page.
It would be nice to also have the option of letting the sitemap handle-errors
pipeline take care of it, but I am not too worried about this if I can get my
first wish. I guess this last part is asking for a way to make solution 1
optional, possibly per call to sendPage[AndWait](), but I am not sure since
my current use case gives me no hints.
