It must have been a long time since you checked :-) The ancient Lisps of
the 60s (Lisp 1.5 etc) didn't have built-in exception handling.
But Lisp (including Emacs Lisp and Common Lisp) has had exception
handling for a long time.
The OP might want to check Kent Pitman's paper "Exceptional Situations
In Lisp" for a discussion of exception handling in Common Lisp:

It doesn't.
