Belay that.  Apologies for the noise.  resumeUnchecked: is of course the
right solution.  e.g.

Array streamContents:
[:s|
[Cogit chooseCogitClass testPCMappingSelect: [:m| true]]
on: AssertionFailure, Error
do: [:ex| | ctxt |
ctxt := ex signalerContext findContextSuchThat:
[:ctx| ctx sender selector = #allSelect:]. "testPCMappingSelect uses
allSelect: to enumerate so return to allSelect: to continue"
s nextPut: (ctxt tempAt: 1).
Transcript ensureCr; cr; print: (ctxt tempAt: 1); cr; flush.
ex searchFrom: ctxt.
ex resumeUnchecked: false]]
