ABORT = f(THROW)

What is -1 THROW supposed to do if CATCH wasn't run? THROW is treated as an
ABORT and ABORT is defined with THROW . This seems to be circular
reasoning. SwiftX.pdf does not describe ABORT or THROW .

Handbook.pdf:

2.6 EXCEPTION HANDLING
 ...
If a non-zero THROW occurs without a corresponding application program CATCH
to return to, it is
treated as an ABORT.
