Yes, that's what I meant. In terms if your idea, I think my idea was to
have ERRFLAG_EVAL automatically convert back to ERRFLAG_ERROR iff -e was
passed to eval — i.e., not by default.

This makes sense, but wouldn't it also require some way for the always
block to (manually) set ERRFLAG_ERROR again upon an ERRFLAG_EVAL, in
order to "abort enough code" (which was the original issue)?
The interface could be a new builtin, or a setfn on TRY_BLOCK_ERROR; the
important thing is that then the always block finishes ERRFLAG_ERROR
would be set.

Daniel
