Yes, that comment (except for the very first line, which refers to
"pageerror") applies to "pageerrortemplate" - as you use it.  

My (probably erroneous) understanding from what I've read is that there
is an error handling _function_ also, and that the default one renders
"pageerrortemplate".  

But I don't want it to render any templates at all, I want it just to
call my own function...  I call spyce programmatically from another
program, and would rather catch an exception myself, rather than have
spyce render an error page.  This is the behaviour I'm trying to
change...

Do I have it wrong?
