Just noticed a thing, thanks to John Lam. Our JumpExceptions derive from
RuntimeException. That means that code that will catch(Exception) will
stop flow control, if it happens at the wrong place. To get around this,
I believe we should consider going to have JumpExceptions based on
java.lang.Error instead.
Seems reasonable. For that matter, why not just extend Throwable? They're not Errors either, really.
