"For this test, each program should be implemented in the same way."
..."I'm looking for solutions that instantiate an exception object."
   http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/bench/except/

// Felix uses explicitly passed closures to handle errors
// and therefore guarrantees exceptions get caught statically

afaict the Felix implementation doesn't instantiate runtime exception
objects - the program isn't implemented in the same way.

The SLang program isn't implemented in the same way.
% Stricly speaking, slang does not have exceptions. It uses error
blocks.

Is the gcc program really instantiating an exception object - or is it
just doing a big goto?

imo We should move the programs that aren't doing what the tests ask
for into the Alternates section (or reject them completely).
