Yes, the intention is that everyone will override #handleError: to do
whatever is appropiate in their environment - dump a snapshot, log a
stacktrace, page the sysadmin, etc, and show whatever kind of error page
they want to show to the user.  Since I have no idea what people will want
for deployment, it seems reasonable to just have it default to what makes
sense during development.

Sure.  I guess I could add a preference to Session that disabled the full
walkback and just showed a simple "There has been an internal error"
message.  But I doubt anyone would ever use the default version of that
message anyway...
