Code should never catch and ignore all Throwables

Code should never catch and ignore all Throwables - ThreadDeath and VirtualMachineError must be rethrown.

It would be useful to provide a method to enforce this behaviour.
For example,. as is done by the Tomcat method [1] with source here [2]

Sample usage:

try {
    reader.close();
} catch (Throwable u) {
    ExceptionUtils.handleThrowable(u);
}

[1] org.apache.tomcat.util.ExceptionUtils#handleThrowable()
