.NET Core - how to catch a StackOverflowException

Question

The perfect StackOverflow question has finally come....

How do I catch a StackOverflow exception!

It seems in .NET Core the StackOverflowException isn't available:

And if I run this code:

using System;

namespace PlayGround.Core.Console
{
    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                DoSomething();
            }
            catch(Exception e)
            {
                System.Console.WriteLine("Bugger");
            }

        }

        private static void DoSomething()
        {
            DoSomething();
        }
    }
}

I get this:

You can see my exception handler didn't run. So how do I go about catching this exception in .NET Core?

EDIT September 15th, 2017: In .NET Core 2.0 there is now a StackOverflowException class, but it still doesn't actually catch a stackoverflow exception.

Since CLR 2.0 you cant catch a StackOverflowException. Unless you were the one to throw it it.
