#### Global Uncaught Exceptions
The REPL uses the [`domain`][] module to catch all uncaught exceptions for that
REPL session.
This use of the [`domain`][] module in the REPL has these side effects:
* Uncaught exceptions do not emit the [`'uncaughtException'`][] event.
* Trying to use [`process.setUncaughtExceptionCaptureCallback()`][] throws
an [`ERR_DOMAIN_CANNOT_SET_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION_CAPTURE`][] error.
#### Assignment of the `_` (underscore) variable
