There's a FIXME saying that the underlying interpreter shouldn't do
this, if I understand your suggestion properly:

  /* FIXME: cagney/2005-01-13: This shouldn't be needed.  Instead the
     caller should print the exception.  */
  exception_print (gdb_stderr, e);

And indeed, this makes me ask why this would be a desirable feature. 
We stop executing a CLI script if one command fails; I think the same
should apply here?
