Yes, Pay's poison is a cool system, but I was thinking (for this bug)
something much more simple: a single view that would do nothing except
raise an exception, every single time. The purpose would be to test the
oops machinery end-to-end.

I think it's also worth considering the injectable errors in the style
of Pay though.
