Tcl_AllowExceptions - allow all exceptions in next script evaluation

Tcl_AllowExceptions(interp)
Tcl_Interp *interp (in) Interpreter in which script will be
evaluated.
____________________________________________________________________________
If a script is evaluated at top-level (i.e. no other scripts are
pending evaluation when the script is invoked), and if the script
terminates with a completion code other than TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR or
TCL_RETURN, then Tcl normally converts this into a TCL_ERROR return
with an appropriate message. The particular script evaluation
procedures of Tcl that act in the manner are Tcl_EvalObjEx,
Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_GlobalEval,
Tcl_GlobalEvalObj, Tcl_VarEval and Tcl_VarEvalVA.
However, if Tcl_AllowExceptions is invoked immediately before calling
one of those a procedures, then arbitrary completion codes are
permitted from the script, and they are returned without
modification. This is useful in cases where the caller can deal with
exceptions such as TCL_BREAK or TCL_CONTINUE in a meaningful way.

DESCRIPTION
If a script is evaluated at top-level (i.e. no other scripts are
pending evaluation when the script is invoked), and if the script
terminates with a completion code other than TCL_OK, TCL_ERROR or
TCL_RETURN, then Tcl normally converts this into a TCL_ERROR return
with an appropriate message. The particular script evaluation
procedures of Tcl that act in the manner are Tcl_EvalObjEx,
Tcl_EvalObjv, Tcl_Eval, Tcl_EvalEx, Tcl_GlobalEval,
Tcl_GlobalEvalObj, Tcl_VarEval and Tcl_VarEvalVA.
However, if Tcl_AllowExceptions is invoked immediately before calling
one of those a procedures, then arbitrary completion codes are
permitted from the script, and they are returned without
modification. This is useful in cases where the caller can deal with
exceptions such as TCL_BREAK or TCL_CONTINUE in a meaningful way.
