# Example program showing exceptions built out of delimited continuations.
# Slightly less klunky than exception1.mu.

# Since Mu is statically typed, we can't build an all-purpose higher-order
# function called 'try'; it wouldn't know how many arguments the function
# passed to it needs to take, what their types are, etc. Instead, until Mu
# gets macros we'll directly use the continuation primitives.
