1) when (NimMajor, NimMinor) >= (1, 6) is incorrect anyway. Needs to change somehow. Nim 1.6.0 through 1.6.10 do not know about BareExcept and either will error on attempts to compile master as is, or there are deeper bugs in this code's accessibility.
2) Also, not clear why in this particular instance that except CatchableError, which is the minimal non-kludgy fix, is incorrect.
