A JavaScript "exception" is a value that is thrown as a result of an invalid operation or
as the target of a `throw` statement. While it is not required that these values inherit from
`Error`, all exceptions thrown by Node.js or the JavaScript runtime *will* be instances of Error.
A JavaScript exception is a value that is thrown as a result of an invalid operation or
as the target of a `throw` statement. While it is not required that these values are instances of
`Error` or classes which inherit from `Error`, all exceptions thrown by Node.js or the JavaScript
runtime *will* be instances of Error.

Some exceptions are *unrecoverable* at the JavaScript layer. These exceptions will always bring
down the process. These are usually failed `assert()` checks or `abort()` calls in the C++ layer.
