// A handler to log thread id and *pause* the thread in exception constructor (user can attach GDB and investigate)
// (or we might call an empty function: "I once used something similar,
//  but with an empty function debug_breakpoint. When debugging, I simply entered "bre debug_breakpoint"
//  at the gdb prompt - no asembler needed (compile debug_breakpoint in a separate compilation unit to avoid having the call optimized away)."
