I'm not familiar with this. However, I was flipping through a Windows 95 book
recently and noticed a similar kind of thing for structured exception handling.
I assume that this is a language feature of a Microsoft C compiler. I believe
it also handles situations that are not explicitly identified, such as
divide-by-zero.
