In addition there will also be a new builtin, throw(atom code).
Why an atom and not an object? It could be useful to put lots of stuff in there.

I have 63-bit integers. I don't need a 32-bit integer. 
The call stack frame has a new machine-word-sized field, ehndlr. At startup, in the top-level...
Ugh...sorry, the implementation details lost me. Could you describe how all this would look to a euphoria programmer who knows nothing about the underlying implementation of euphoria?

Thanks. That all sounds pretty reasonable. Though I still disagree on the argument for throw(). I think this should be fairly straightforward for interpreted code. Not sure how you get this in the translator.
