I do a lot of work in a variant of Business Basic that has always 
offered resumable exceptions.  The closest I get in python is using 
import pdb;pdb.set_trace().  I wonder what it would take to allow for 
any exceptions occurring outside a try/except context to dump the 
traceback, then invoke pdb.set_trace() before bailing to allow for both 
investigation and possible recovery and continuance?
