[plt-scheme] with-handlers and mzscheme extensions

Matthew,

Thanks, for the information.

In mzscheme I can do something like this:

(define-struct (exn:my-exn  exn) ())
(define-struct (exn:my-exn:sub-exn  exn:my-exn) ())

...

(let ((e (my-exn "opps" (current-continuation-marks))))
   (raise e))

I guess what I'm really looking to do is do the same thing from my
mzscheme extension.  That is, create my own exception type in the C
code of the mzscheme extension and then have the ability to raise one
of these new exceptions from the mzscheme extension.

Thanks again!
--David
