Thank you. Proper exception/condition handling is a high priority item on my list. It's something that is long overdue... Lone currently hard exits on literally any error.

My delimited continuations article also talks about exception handling:

Throw/catch are just delimited continuations which don't actually capture the continuation. The machinery is already in place. If I copied the control/transfer primitives and removed the continuation code, I'd have a functional exceptions handling mechanism.

In suppose I can use tagged prompts to catch some exceptions and not others. Place a symbol in the stack delimiter, then the transfer primitive can look for it and skip anything that doesn't match. Untagged prompts just use nil as the tag.
