Hi Christoph, hi all,

I've added a tweak to #cannotReturn: that would make sure the method won't
return to the block that attempted an illegal non-local return. This would
prevent crashing the image/VM when accidentally pressing Proceed or stepping
over it. #terminate can take an advantage of this improvement as well - it'd
be able to safely deal with illegal non-local returns and continue
unwinding.

The latest version of #terminate is enclosed and in the Inbox here:

Thanks for reviewing/commenting.
