[Cuis-dev] [Ann] Refinements to Exception handling

[Hernan Wilkinson]

Hi,
 I think that forbidden a non local return in an exception handler is not
really the solution... Although I understand the motivation I think that
changing the exception handling mechanism would be better.
 I'm going to take a look at it to see if it is possible to do it.

Hernan.
