DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides  a forward-compatibility implementation of Tcl 8.6's throw command
       (TIP 329), for Tcl 8.5. The code was  directly  pulled  from  Tcl  8.6  revision  ?,  when
       try/finally was implemented as Tcl procedure instead of in C.

       ::throw error_code error_message
              throw  is  merely  a reordering of the arguments of the error command. It throws an
              error with the indicated error code and error message.

EXAMPLES

              throw {MYERROR CODE} "My error message"
