I understand the idea that an Error is not supposed to be caught but why would such a 'feature' be desirable? Where's the benefit if nothing can be relied upon ?
It's a debugging facility for development stage that allows to print the error message and stack trace instead of silent termination. Because it still needs to be caught for this, explicit catch still works, but other cleanup mechanisms don't.
