Comment (by anonymous):

 well, registering new factories will mean reimplement/copypaste all
 init_from_settings.cpp.
 btw we are not talking about default behavior, we are talking about the
 behavior, since it is impossible to add/change exception handler
 afterwards afaik. the only other way to change exception handler is ... to
 register new factories, which will not use code in question anyway. to me
 it looks like suppressing exception is much better than just killing
 application. we are talking about suppressing only those exceptions which
 otherwise will kill application.
 basically my suggestion boils down to "suppress instead of dying", i fail
 to see downsides.
