-    description: The `'uncaughtException'` event is from now on triggered if the
-                 repl is used as standalone program.
--->
-
-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 only emit the [`'uncaughtException'`][] event in the
-  standalone REPL. Adding a listener for this event in a REPL within
-  another Node.js program results in [`ERR_INVALID_REPL_INPUT`][].
-
-  ```js
-  const r = repl.start();
-
-  r.write('process.on("uncaughtException", () => console.log("Foobar"));\n');
-  // Output stream includes:
-  //   TypeError [ERR_INVALID_REPL_INPUT]: Listeners for `uncaughtException`
-  //   cannot be used in the REPL
-
-  r.close();
-  ```
-
-* Trying to use [`process.setUncaughtExceptionCaptureCallback()`][] throws
-  an [`ERR_DOMAIN_CANNOT_SET_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION_CAPTURE`][] error.
