I’m all for that.

However, before XMas, as far as I remember, jnthn has been busy removing 
throws-like for dies-ok, because the throws-like were too specific.

The reason for this change was really never clear to me, and/or my memory of 
those tension-filled days is too hazy.  What I’m saying is, before going on 
with this, check with jnthn / TimToady.
