Summary	0001411: Use Error (Throwable) instead of fatal error when maximum nesting level is reached
Description	The fact that Xdebug triggers a fatal error is an anachronism that does not fit in this day and age of PHP 7. It would be great if Xdebug triggered an Error instead that can be handled using try/catch.
Steps To Reproduce	$ cat f.php <?php function f() { f(); } f(); $ php -d xdebug.max_nesting_level=2 f.php PHP Fatal error: Maximum function nesting level of '2' reached, aborting! in /home/sb/f.php on line 2 PHP Stack trace: PHP 1. {main}() /home/sb/f.php:0 PHP 2. f() /home/sb/f.php:3
Tags	No tags attached.

Operating System
PHP Version	7.1.0-7.1.4
