		    	<span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::catch</strong></span></span> wraps the core language's same command adding some
            extra error handling needed by mod_rivet design.
		    	The rationale for Rivet to have its own <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::catch</strong></span></span> reads as follows: 
            within mod_rivet a script execution can be interrupted by either calling 
		    	<span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::exit</strong></span></span>(deprecated) or <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::abort_page</strong></span></span>. These commands
            implement a simple internal exception mechanism by 
            returning a special error code so that execution is in turn handed down to the
            <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>AbortScript</strong></span></span> and eventually to <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>AfterEveryScript</strong></span></span> (if any of them is 
            defined). Any code calling one of these commands which runs under control of the
            <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::catch</strong></span></span> command would need to do this chore itself, checking the error info and in case 
            throw the error again if it had been originated by one of mod_rivet's exceptions calls. 
            This is what <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>::rivet::catch</strong></span></span> does hiding the implementation
            details provide a better and more compatibile way to handle this condition.
