+Parameters request interception of
+@option{all} of these hardware event vectors,
+@option{none} of them,
+or one or more of the following:
+@option{hard_err} for a HardFault exception;
+@option{mm_err} for a MemManage exception;

+@option{irq_err},
+@option{state_err},
+@option{chk_err}, or
+@option{nocp_err} for various UsageFault exceptions; or

+If NVIC setup code does not enable them,
+MemManage, BusFault, and UsageFault exceptions
+are mapped to HardFault.
+UsageFault checks for
+divide-by-zero and unaligned access
+must also be explicitly enabled.
