And how are tasks dealt with ? I guess the error code given by the last
exception is returned by a global function or variable (like UNIX's
errno), but that mechanism doesn't work in a multitasking environment.
This is why I like Modula-3's parameterized exceptions. Combined with
inheritance, they are as powerful as exception hierarchies, but simpler to
specify.
