Coroutines do not log uncaught exceptions in Android

See original GitHub issue

https://github.com/wardellbagby/KotlinExceptions

I created a sample app to show what I mean.

When a coroutine has an uncaught exception, it’s manually calling the Thread UncaughtExceptionHandler. A consequence of that is Android’s uncaught exception pre-handler that handles logging isn’t invoked.

The README of the linked project goes more in depth.
