The ANSI protocol also specifies the outer behavior. The method outer is very similar to pass. Sending outer to an exception also evaluates the enclosing handler action. The only difference is that if the outer handler resumes the exception, then control will be returned to the point where outer was sent, not the original point where the exception was signaled:
passResume := [[ Warning signal . 1 ] "resume to here"
on: Warning
do: [ :ex | ex pass . 2 ]]
on: Warning
do: [ :ex | ex resume ].
passResume → 1 "resumes to original signal point"
outerResume := [[ Warning signal . 1 ]
on: Warning
do: [ :ex | ex outer . 2 ]] "resume to here"
on: Warning
do: [ :ex | ex resume ].
outerResume → 2 "resumes to where outer was sent"
