If you mean: "break on an exception only when sometime in the future
the exception is not trapped by a catch block", that is not possible.
At the time the exception is thrown we don't know if it will be caught
or not.

We do have a new technique for capturing information that we may be
able to apply to this case.  It would not be a breakpoint (since that
is impossible) but a 'querypoint', a snapshot that looks like a
breakpoint but the program is not halted there.

If you have something else in mind let us know.
