Ok, here is what Marc Feeley, the author of SRFI-18 has to say about
this:
when an uncaught exception occurs in a thread the thread is in bad
shape and things have gone sufficiently wrong that there is no
universally acceptable way to continue execution. Executing after
thunks could require a whole lot of processing that the thread is
not in a shape to do. So the safe thing is to terminate the thread.
Is this argument specific to Chicken threads?
I wonder how other compilers do it. For example, I find Java's (and
Python's) try/finally syntax quite useful. I've always thought
dynamic-wind was Scheme's equivalent construct, but it would appear I
was mistaken.
