Me too. This is in keeping with the spirit of lexical scoping. It is as if
these built-in functions have lexically captured the global of the realm of
their creation, and use that. Besides "throw", any other answer would be
too much magic and (at least) hard to explain. Also, this aligns with the
global capture of sloppy functions.
