60Semantics: Evaluating a guard form evaluates <body> with an exception
61handler that binds the raised object to <var> and within the scope of
62that binding evaluates the clauses as if they were the clauses of a
63cond expression. That implicit cond expression is evaluated with the
64continuation and dynamic environment of the guard expression. If
65every <clause>'s <test> evaluates to false and there is no else
66clause, then raise is re-invoked on the raised object within the
67dynamic environment of the original call to raise except that the
68current exception handler is that of the guard expression."
