Can this be handled like thread exceptions?

Thread.abort_on_exception=true

I like this approach because it's dynamic and changes the behavior for 
the current runtime.

Date.japanese_era_exception=true

Or perhaps something like Firefox about:config

Runtime.thread.abort_on_exception = true
Runtime.date.japanese.era_exception = true
