[Gambas-user] Global Error Handing

[nando]

Benoit, I was thinking about the same thing.
What is there was a method: _error (the brother to _new)
If present in a class, a class error falls into it as a default handler
Any error here most-liekly will implement Try/Catch by the programmer but
_error will not catch itself: an internal flag set the first time
_error runs, if it attempted to catch itself would notice
the flag set, return, and the immediately notice it returned
with an error, thus returning, exiting the class.
