[MonoDevelop] Break only on unhandled exceptions

[Alan]

Hey,

Visual Studio has a different concept of what classifies as an
unhandled exception. If you have 'Just My Code' enabled, it treats
every exception that propagates from user code to framework code as
'unhandled' and therefore the debugger halts execution. i.e. you must
have a try/catch written in your own code for Visual Studio to treat
the exception as handled. SDB has the more strict/accurate rule of 'If
this exception is not wrapped in a try/catch *somewhere* it is
unhandled. As such throwing an exception is fine as long as the stack
unwindws to a try/catch handler in either your code or the .NET
framework code.

Visual Studios behaviour is desirable in many scenarios and I've
raised the issue with our debugger guy. He's going to look into it,
but there's no ETA on when/if we'd be able to have the same semantics
as Visual Studios debugger when executing with 'Just My Code' enabled.
Does this sound like the behaviour you are looking for?
