Would you put the Erlang/Elixir error handling in the "catch Throwable" camp?

Because in this case, the error handling is done in a different process altogether (supervisor).

I think of it as "no error handling", the program just crashes. There just happen to be many other programs running, which may restart the program that crashed.
