Is there an equivalent of `condition-case' for throws?  I am
specifically looking to catch any and all throws, as though with the
symbol `t' in `condition-case'.

Catching `cl-return-from' only would work for my purposes as well (with
some `cl-define-compiler-macro' magic, perhaps, though I have not looked
into it much) but I would prefer a general solution.

It might also be possible to do something with `unwind-protect', which
does activate with throws, but I need to have access to the thrown
symbol and value and I don't know how to do that.

It isn't clear whether you want to catch even those throw's which have
a matching 'catch' (with the same TAG), or do you want to catch only
those throw's for which there's no matching 'catch'?
