If you mean it works differently than the way it works
in Java or Python etc than I'd agree. Felix requires
the handler be in scope. 

So it is different. You're not familiar with the technique.
Does that mean it isn't exception handling?

Perhaps it is so, but I don't see any definition
which clearly excludes my test code.
