A few more language questions/feature requests:

I see that NullPointerExceptions are thrown in some situations (but not always, see below) by the vm -- is it possible to throw an Exception?

Is it possible to catch an Exception?

I could simulate throwing an exception by printing out an error message with the offending line number and calling me.exit() . . . is it possible to get the current line number?

In my attempt at an unit test framework for ChucK I crash the vm where I would expect it to throw a NullPointerException. See commented out lines in the attachment at
