The sample definition of block() in the DRM does not show any implicit
handlers.

There is no handler for <simple-error> in the block so the code in the
exception clause will not be executed. Control will attempt to be
passed to another handler for <simple-error>. If there are no others
then the generic function default-handler is called. This is from my
reading of chapter 7 of the DRM.
