Please! That would make post-mortem debugging much easier for those of
who have to deal with developers that know just about nothing about
debugging. Another benefit would be that if it did `abort', we would
get a stack dump for the bug reports -- our fatal error handlers can
dump stack trace or drop a core, or both, on certain systems.

With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine. However, this is not
necessarily a good idea. It is hard to be sure where they are going
to land, and it could be dangerous sitting under them as they fly
overhead. --RFC1925, "The Twelve Networking Truths"
