When non-Error values are thrown they aren't be caught by :default

version

0.1.0

platform

Ubuntu 20.04.3 with 16.10.0

problem

Normal ClojureScript (and JavaScript) can catch normal (non-Error) values when they are thrown, but nbb is not catching them.

repro

user=> (try (throw (js/Error. "blah")) (catch :default e (prn :e e)))
:e #object[Error Error: blah]
user=> (try (throw "blah") (catch :default e (prn :e e)))
"blah"

expected behavior

Same as ClojureScript:

cljs.user=> (try (throw (js/Error. "blah")) (catch :default e (prn :e e)))
:e #object[Error Error: blah]
cljs.user=> (try (throw "blah") (catch :default e (prn :e e)))
:e "blah"

Note that this is functionality supported natively by JavaScript itself:

> try { throw("blah") } catch (e) { console.log("e:", e) }
e: blah
> try { throw([1,2,3]) } catch (e) { console.log("e:", e) }
e: [ 1, 2, 3 ]

Fixed in SCI. Will bump after I fix #115

[kanaka]

Verified both this and #115. Thanks!

@kanaka You're welcome. If you are using nbb at work or in an OSS project, it'd be great if you shared something about it here:
