Our abort() code also prints a stack trace/etc. to the console, and on Android 
the console is hooked up to `adb logcat`, which is why Greg Shackles can see 
the stack trace. This is useful, though it could be improved.

I spoke with Kumpera about adding more exception support instead of just 
aborting as well, and it's a hard problem. The runtime team has done that for 
some error conditions, but doing it for all conditions will take a lot of 
effort; it certainly won't be entirely done by next release. :-)

Absolutely, we aim to fix as many as we can, but it'll take time.

In the meantime, there's `adb logcat`. It's not perfect, but it's better than 
nothing.
