Is there a way for my program to write a nice user-readable message ("An
internal error occurred. Please bin that program.") instead of the stack
trace when it crashes ?

Ideally, I would like to get the stack trace into a file (which the user
will be invited to send to me as part of its bug report), and a message
printed instead. Also, some finalizers would be happy to run before the
program definitely exits (atexit functions are not called when the code
crashes).

I've read through the docs, but they only talk about how to get info from
the stack trace. Surely when you distribute a program you don't want the
user to get stack traces ?
