What exactly would it "continue" with?

The next instruction after whereever the "throw" was?

The toplevel function call (or other code) next after the toplevel function in 
the try block that threw up?

The first answer won't work because any object live when bar() threw but only 
referenced in the call stack below the try block, will already have been 
destructed.

The second answer appears ... semantically dubious.
