What is the behavior in the non-AppKit configuration? Does it already crash on exceptions? Can we make it crash on exceptions?

I think we can use std::set_terminate to set the exception handler, but I'm not sure if it's possible to get the exception (or stack trace) from there.

I was thinking along the lines of using NSSetUncaughtExceptionHandler().
