And for consideration, some notes that seem relevant to any redesign
from root.c:

/* Some questions about cwdr:

   Couldn't the body just be a closure?  Do we really need to pass
   args through to it?

   The semantics are a lot like catch's; in fact, we call
   scm_internal_catch to take care of that part of things.  Wouldn't
   it be cleaner to say that uncaught throws just disappear into the
   ether (or print a message to stderr), and let the caller use catch
   themselves if they want to?
