	You know, GCHII, these are very good questions.  The design I had
(all interpreter methods take an exception reference to fill in -- should
have been Throwable, because of errors -- incidentally) was a Grade A hack
designed around jJOS not supporting C++ exceptions, which seem the natural
way to do things.  I don't know what the right answer is; maybe Leuner has
a clue?
