So far we've only had a small subset of the functionality for exceptions. Currently we supports the syntax but not the behavior of typed and multiple arm exception handlers.
Solution
Built out the remaining functionality in order to implement exceptions. This includes
New methods on the base Fiber class to handle the generation of an appropriate backTrace
New instructions to implement the exceptions systems
Update the compiler to emit instructions for each catch arms.

Overall some of the goals with the design are to basically make both exception paths and non exception paths as fast as possible.
None Exception
Overall these both are still relatively cheap
Overall we should be able to optimize this slightly as we have to do some double allocation at the moment.
