Eeek, what a hack (to set a bit here in the parser, so we can have special
handling in the optimizing compiler liveness analysis).

We should probably come up with a way to handle it within the system.  Maybe we
just need to expose the stores to the variables that are implicit in the catch
entry?

Removed. The conservative approximation in the variable liveness analysis makes
this flag obsolete.
