Description
The throw statement has a few known supported types (string, or AA).
We should figure out the valid things that can be thrown, and then show diagnostics when throwing variables of unsupported types.

Research direction
Start at the throw-statement handling and determine which thrown types BrightScript supports, including the currently known string and associative-array cases. Define diagnostics for unsupported thrown variable types; done means valid throws remain accepted and unsupported types produce diagnostics.
