    .  .  .
    Persons running NIL code can write macros that map CATCH and THROW to
    *CATCH and *THROW  while experienced NIL users will be
    careful not to load faulty code in with their NIL stuff.
Just like to point out that the NIL syntax for CATCH is primitive, and
it is *CATCH which is made a macro (which conveniently enough just
changes its name into CATCH)
