Details:

(try-catch
 (primitive-throw (make <java.lang.Exception> "hi"))
 (x <java.lang.Exception>
    (display (format "~A~%" (invoke x 'getClass)))
    (force-output)))
class gnu.math.IntNum

The documentation claims that the exception itself is bound to the handler
variable, but it appears to be binding something else.  Would be useful to
have it bind the exception object so you can use it to print stack traces,
re-throw it, etc.
