Hi internals! I'd like to propose an RFC, which allows the use of exceptions within the engine and also allows changing existing fatal errors to exceptions:

This topic has been cropping up in the discussions for several of the recent RFCs and I think the time has come to consider moving away from fatal errors. Thoughts? Thanks, Nikita
As a PHP user-space developer I love this idea. However, I share the concern of others here that it could result in BC unpleasantness, even if limited to the E_FATAL and E_RECOVERABLE_FATAL use cases. I don't know off hand how various versions of Drupal would handle this. --Larry Garfield
How could anything be reliant on the behaviour of a fatal error in any meaningful way ?? Cheers Joe
