I suppose, but typically a regression test suite should attempt to run
ALL of its tests, collecting a set of failing tests, and then returning
that information. And demanding interactive attention ("I'm going to
throw you into the debugger if I fail") may also be undesirable in
practice. I suppose handler-case would be enough for that, but I'm
still uncomfortable with the idea.
