 Type
-    ``bool``

 Default

 Description
-    Evaluate filter expressions raising an exception as ``false``
+    Evaluate filter expressions in a special environment
-    instead of aborting the current extractor run
+    preventing them from raising fatal exceptions.
-    by wrapping them in a `try`/`except` block.

+        Do not wrap expressions in a special environment
