Here's the output:

Nice functions and well-documented output! Two questions:

1. I'm just diving into the world of custom error_handling. Are these functions in place of set_error_handler()? or are they themselves the "error_handler"?
2. how is your code called/referenced in code? is your function called as part of the catch of a try-catch block or some other method?
   Thanks,
   Les

@schmidtl4 It's not an error handler and isn't getting registered as such in this code, it's just a helpful output for development, to see the available Exceptions. :)

Small update to support HHVM 3.20-3.22 (if Throwable exists but no exceptions implements it.)
