I think on_handler_exception *should* do the job; I believe it's a
level higher than on_route_exception.

Failing that, before_error_init should fire when an error is being
handled, with a Dancer::Error object being passed to it.

Available hooks are documented at:

If all else fails, a feature request for an on_hook_exception handler
could make sense :)
