    Sometimes I want to rescue an error, but still log it to Exceptional. I'm doing this in a controller:

    Sweet, Geoffrey, hope that's working out.

    Our new plugin has support for this baked right in, along with a non-plugin gem for use in non-Rails environments.

    We're releasing the documentation this week.
