+#### 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.
