Indeed, I wasn't expecting anything normative other than that E.p.throw threw |this|, but informative (SHOULD? MAY?) text describing it as a place for implementors to hook state modifications to aid in diagnosis. I'll see if I can figure out how to write a concrete proposal, maybe next week; please feel free to beat me to this, lazylist!
