-------------------------------------------------------------------

So it can't really be fixed as usual, due to backward compatibility constraints, but 2.3.27 addresses it:
* Added {{catch_unchecked_exceptions}} configuration setting to address this. It defaults to {{false}} for backward compatibility.
* Also, regardless of the {{catch_unchecked_exceptions}} setting, if {{incompatible_improvements}} is set to at least 2.3.27, we will wrap the following exceptions (but not their subclasses) into {{TemplateException}}: NullPointerException, ClassCastException, IndexOutOfBoundsException, and InvocationTargetException. This should cover most cases without introducing much backward compatibility risks.

>          Components: engine
>    Affects Versions: 2.3.25-incubating, 2.3.26-incubating
>         Environment: Any
>            Reporter: Vojtech Knyttl
>             Fix For: 2.3.27-incubating

> Consider this stacktrace:
> https://gist.github.com/knyttl/dba8f94b9736eb2751074c34dce7b467
> On line `DispatcherServlet.renderView(DispatcherServlet.java:308)` I have started freemarker to render a template. During that process it uses custom method (`HrefMethod.exec(HrefMethod.java:28)`), but this method threw an exception. However Freemarker does not report a line/row of the template where this method was called making it very hard for debug.
> I would be happy if `freemarker.core.MethodCall._eval(MethodCall.java:65)` had some try-catch blcok, that in case of an exception would add lines/rows/details of the element that caused the exception.
