David Lloyd commented on AS7-813:
---------------------------------

An API change will never be able to catch everything (I'm thinking of NPEs in particular), however I suspect that you could use something like ByteMan to do this...?

> I would like to be able to show/hide system exception call stacks in the logs based on a configuration option.  The same for showing/hiding user application exception call stacks.
> To support the above configuration change, I would like to see a way to log a system exception versus an user application exception.  
> By system exception, I mean any exception that is logged via a distinctive api method.  Perhaps something like:
>   log.systemError(String message, Throwable infrastructureException);
> This would help reduce the time it takes to debug infrastructure issues (e.g. the NPE at http://pastie.org/1917562 is well hidden which in itself is a bug).
