Walter Bright:
We need to STOP breaking existing code.
This is a small example case where I suggest to break hypothetical

The fear of breaking code should NOT freeze our brains in terror. For
each sigh of broken code could exist one thousand sighs caused by
broken designs that will keep causing troubles forever.
Your proposal there is much much worse than one to deprecate `catch()` -
it may result in silent change of behavior
That would be serious. What code would change behavior with Walter's
