/**
 * An optional element in the coroutine context to handle **uncaught** exceptions.
 *
 * Normally, uncaught exceptions can only result from _root_ coroutines created using the [launch][CoroutineScope.launch] builder.
 * All _children_ coroutines (coroutines created in the context of another [Job]) delegate handling of their
 * exceptions to their parent coroutine, which also delegates to the parent, and so on until the root,
 * so the `CoroutineExceptionHandler` installed in their context is never used.
 * A coroutine that was created using [async][CoroutineScope.async] always catches all its exceptions and represents them
 * in the resulting [Deferred] object, so it cannot result in uncaught exceptions either.
 *
 * ### Handling coroutine exceptions
 *
 * `CoroutineExceptionHandler` is a last-resort mechanism for global "catch all" behavior.
 * If you need to handle exception in a specific part of the code, it is recommended to use `try`/`catch` around
 * the corresponding code inside your coroutine, like this:
 *
 * ```
 * scope.launch { // launch child coroutine in a scope
 *     try {
 *          // do something
 *     } catch (e: Throwable) {
 *          // handle exception
 *     }
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * ### Implementation details
 *
 * By default, when no handler is installed, uncaught exception are handled in the following way:
 * * If exception is [CancellationException] then it is ignored
 *   (because that is the supposed mechanism to cancel the running coroutine)
 * * Otherwise:
 *     * if there is a [Job] in the context, then [Job.cancel] is invoked;
 *     * Otherwise, all instances of [CoroutineExceptionHandler] found via [ServiceLoader]
 *     * and current thread's [Thread.uncaughtExceptionHandler] are invoked.
 *
 * [CoroutineExceptionHandler] can be invoked from an arbitrary dispatcher used by coroutines in the current job hierarchy.
 * For example, if one has a `MainScope` and launches children of the scope in main and default dispatchers, then exception handler can
 * be invoked either in main or in default dispatcher thread regardless of
 * which particular dispatcher coroutine that has thrown an exception used.
