    NoHandlerError is raised, if there is no exception handler

    or default action for an exception.

    The parameter is the unhandled exception.

    [Class variables:]

        EmergencyHandler <Block>    this block is evaluated, if no handler was defined

                                    for a signal (i.e. this one is responsible for the

                                    unhandled exception debugger).

                                    Having this being a block allows to globally catch

                                    these errors - even when no enclosing handler-scope

                                    around the erroneous code exists.

                                    (as the catch/through does).

examples

"

    The emergencyHandler stuff is very useful, to prevent endUser applications

    from entering the debugger.

    Some commonly used (useful) emergency handlers are provided in the

    'useful handlers' section; try them to learn more

    (especially, the mailingHandler is fun).

    Of course, these are only examples - you may define your own handler

    block and pass it to the #emergencyHandler: method.

    BTW: the Launchers 'source & debugger' settings menu allows you

	 to install either a default or the notifying handler.

    A handler which shows a box, then aborts - (no more debuggers):

								[exBegin]

	NoHandlerError emergencyHandler:(NoHandlerError abortingEmergencyHandler)

								[exEnd]

    A handler which aborts - (no box, no debugger):

								[exBegin]

	NoHandlerError emergencyHandler:[:ex | AbortSignal raise]

								[exEnd]

    try some exception (for demonstration, in some other process):

								[exBegin]

	[

	    #(1 2 3) at:4

	] fork.

								[exEnd]

    cleanup (switch back to the regular handler, which enters the debugger):

								[exBegin]

	NoHandlerError emergencyHandler:nil

								[exEnd]

    A handler which shows a warnBox and asks for debugging:

								[exBegin]

	NoHandlerError emergencyHandler:(NoHandlerError notifyingEmergencyHandler)

								[exEnd]

    A handler which dumps information to a file (watch the file 'errorTrace.stx'):

								[exBegin]

	NoHandlerError emergencyHandler:(NoHandlerError dumpingEmergencyHandler)

								[exEnd]

    A handler which sends you mail:

								[exBegin]

	NoHandlerError emergencyHandler:(NoHandlerError mailingEmergencyHandler)

								[exEnd]
