> The Clownfish exception mechanism wraps the host language's exception
> mechanism, making it possible to throw host exceptions from C code without
> knowledge of the host language.  We need to augment this capability
> with a way to trap exceptions from C.
> This new feature will enable us to clean up a couple places in the code base,
> such as opening an index reader.  More importantly, though, it will make it
> possible to write tests in C which verify error handling.
