It's in the tclvars man page (and surely also in the html-pendants)

It is a list, the first element of which gives the type, and thereby
determines the interpretation of the rest. For those types thrown by
the core these interpretations are also given (ARITH,POSIX,...).

With all the changes in progress, and the global variable errorCode 
practically vanishing, it may be necessary to move it's explanation
to "error", "catch", "throw" and/or "try" docs.
