/** This class is the parent class of all non-local transfer of
 * control events in ABCL. The classes inheriting from this class each
 * represent a transfer of control event as it is available in the
 * standard: GO (represented by Go), RETURN (by Return) and THROW (by Throw).
 *
 * Please note that you should only be using these classes in case
 * you've establisched a corresponding TAGBODY, BLOCK or CATCH-like
 * construct in your code.
 *
 * Otherwise, be aware that if you are mixing Lisp and Java code,
 * Lisp code being called into might throw one of the three exception types
 * and cause execution to be transferred to the nearest handler - presumably
 * outside your Java code.
