Is there a place in the docs that describe the difference between errors and exceptions? As to the particular example, why is it unsafe to recover from attempting to access memory past the end of the array, as long as the access was prevented?
It is just that Errors are not necessarily *thrown*. The implementation is allowed to immediately abort on them too - your catch has no guarantee to actually run, whereas with Exceptions, they are.
