We could add gperl_callback_invoke_trapped() which would trap exceptions and
invoke the registered exception handlers if an exception occurred.

The question then is whether changing the mentioned callbacks to be invoked by
gperl_callback_invoke_trapped() is backwards compatible.  Is someone relying on
exceptions in those callbacks aborting the main loop?
