[para]

This package provides a forward-compatibility implementation of Tcl
8.6's throw command (TIP 329), for Tcl 8.5. The code was
directly pulled from Tcl 8.6 revision ?, when try/finally was
implemented as Tcl procedure instead of in C.

throw is merely a reordering of the arguments of the error command. It throws an error with the indicated 
error code and error message.
