it has the same issues. You can always discard errors with `catch unreachable` for example.

If you haven't overridden the default panic handler, and you're in a Debug or ReleaseSafe build you'll still automatically get an error return trace (which is nicer than a stack trace) even if you do `catch unreachable`.

True, but it's very explicit, and easy to audit for.
