The latter is fine too. Okay, shall I give it a go as implementation?

Yep.

It seems most are for another type of error that are fatal if not "handled" in the user error handler. There is just one thing... how do we signal it back from the handler? Currently there is no defined return value for the user defined error handler. I suggest that if you return "false" from the user defined error handler than that signals that PHP should handle the error (and this stop the application in case the new error type was thrown).

I'm not exactly following. If you want to stop the application, why wouldn't you simply exit()? Zeev
