But all of that is implementable with a termination handler too.
Part of why I'm sympathetic to the assertions throw mantra is that I used it very successfully in Kleopatra way back when. We could easily take the exception's what() and report back over the UI server channel that an assertion happened and the client would show a message box with the assertion details, copyable from a QMessageBox into a bugreport.
