It's definitely more elegant. It's more like the Emacs hooks-everywhere scheme than exception handling, though. (I've seen one program that approaches things in the same way as this does with its quaject callbacks, and that's the ERC IRC client, which has a fairly conventional server core, but all the actual processing is done by invoking hooks with names constructed from the type of the server response; said hooks can then send messages back again, or whatever. Of course ERC doesn't have all the *other* nifty stuff in Synthesis.) (btw, isn't the cartoon at the end a picture of a quala, not a koala? --- sorry.)
