Treating Views differently from Snippets for Exception Handling purposes

In the sample below, "hi" is a simple view that has a problem in that
it has infinite recursion and so throws an exception. By default, if
I call buriedHi, I get no exceptions. If I call unearthedHi the
exception is shown.

class foo extends InsecureLiftView { 
  def hi: NodeSeq = <html>{ hi }</html> 
  def buriedHi: NodeSeq = hi 
  def unearthedHi: NodeSeq = try { hi } catch { case t:Throwable => t.printStackTrace; <html><body>stack trace found</body></html> } 
}
