Debugging with exceptions: How to work around 'Break when thrown'

I'm getting tired of clearing the Debugging->Exceptions option Break when thrown to get past an exception I handle properly, then setting the Break when thrown option to find the source of a subsequent exception not handled properly.

I would like a way to exclude certain try blocks from Break when thrown, with something like preprocessor directives or something. I tried recording a macro, but all it does is opens the Debugging->Exceptions dialogue.

It would be nice to specify, even at a coarser grain, which methods are exempt from Break when thrown debugging.

Is this a pipe dream?

Push Alt-Ctrl-e to bring up the exceptions window.

Specify which exceptions you wish to ignore.
