Then why ask what it does?  You're asking a lot of questions lately
that you're irked by when you get an answer <0.9 wink>.

No, I don't use it -- last I looked seriously (which was years ago),
it didn't work on Windows.  I don't know of anyone who does use it. 
The functionality is highly desired by some numeric programmers, in
some parts of some of their apps, although they'd like finer control
(like don't gripe about divide-by-0 but do gripe about overflow in
function A, and don't gripe about anything in function B, and only
gripe about invalid operation in the 23rd line of function C).
