      # @param status_code [Integer] HTTP status code for this error.
      # @param msg [String] message to inject into the response body.

      # Execute a block of code safely.
      #
      # If the block raises any exception that derives from
      # Goliath::Validation::Error (see specifically those in
      # goliath/validation/standard_http_errors.rb), it will be turned into the
      # corresponding 4xx response with a corresponding message.
      #
      # If the block raises any other kind of error, we log it and return a
      # less-communicative 500 response.
      #
      # @example
      #   # will convert the ForbiddenError exception into a 403 response
      #   # and an uncaught error in do_something_risky! into a 500 response
      #   safely(env, headers) do
      #     raise ForbiddenError unless account_info['valid'] == true
      #     do_something_risky!
      #     [status, headers, body]
      #   end

      # @param headers [Hash] Response headers to preserve in an error response
