Currently an uncaught exceptions results in a fatal error (E_ERROR) meaning that if a particular method throws an exceptions it MUST be caught otherwise the script will terminate. Having to wrap some methods inside exceptions can be extremely frustrating since you may want to allow those methods to fail. For example the query method in SQLite can safely be allowed to fail in certain instances. In other instances when you care about failures there may be a need to implement custom handlers depending on the nature of the error. For example if a query fails due to a uniqness constrait, an UPDATE query would be ran while in all other instances an error would be logged etc... Ilia
