Raising exceptions can generate invalid JavaScript

[mxthevs]

The following code:

let x = raise(Not_found)

Compiles to the following JavaScript:

// Generated by ReScript, PLEASE EDIT WITH CARE


throw {
      RE_EXN_ID: "Not_found",
      Error: new Error()
    };

export {
  x ,
}
/* x Not a pure module */

Which exports a variable x that does not exist on the final output.

This happens for toplevel code that raises exceptions. The export part of the code is not reached.
