find_name doesn't obey docs on unbound

[Perry Wagle]

[Please do just poke at me until I make sense.]

I tried to get it to work, asked questions on IRC until I looked at the sourcescp  and saw that the code didn't even try to generate the exception.  So, I deleted my attempts.

Since then, I found several different ways to look through the namespaces, and thought picking on find_name wasn't even close to the real problem.

That said, I tried to get this to run, just now:

.sub main :main  ### :pedantic_args
        .param string argv :slurpy
        errorson(.PARROT_ERRORS_GLOBALS_FLAG)
        push_eh myhandler
        $P0 = find_name "i_better_not_exist_or_this_thing_is_crazy"
        if null $P0 goto wasnull
        say "not null, must have existed somehow.   inconceivable!"
        exit 1
wasnull:
        say "was null.   not good!"
        exit 2
myhandler:
        say "generated exception.   excellent!"
        exit 0
.end

but the errorson command is unhappy for some reason.  I don't know when I can get back to this.
