Ok, I think I understand a little better now!  So there's some magic
'#%paramz module that defines an exception-handler-key that's used
throughout the system.  Ah, and I see that in the C implementation,
this is scheme_exn_handler_key, and the Racket runtime does special
things when an exception happens in the context of this distinguished
continuation mark.  Ok, that makes sense.
