even thought the setjmp implementation for try statement won't be used in C++, using properly scoped variables for them is beneficial, because we'll be able to establish a 1:1 relation between nimrod scopes and C scopes. Once we have that, we'll be able to keep the original names of local variables to greatly improve the debugging experience (i.e. watch expressions and hover tooltips will work).

Nimrod Compiler
===========================================================
This is the **Nimrod Compiler**. Nimrod is a new statically typed, imperative
programming language, that supports procedural, functional, object oriented and
generic programming styles while remaining simple and efficient. A special
feature that Nimrod inherited from Lisp is that Nimrod's abstract syntax tree
(AST) is part of the specification - this allows a powerful macro system which
can be used to create domain specific languages.
*Nimrod* is a compiled, garbage-collected systems programming language
which has an excellent productivity/performance ratio. Nimrod's design
focuses on the 3E: efficiency, expressiveness, elegance (in the order of
priority).
See the file ``install.txt`` for installation instructions. See the file
``doc/intern.txt`` for the internal documentation for developers.
