I still can't see why it's superior to standardizing SpiderMonkey
non-standard syntax.
```
try { ...
} catch(e if e instanceof Error) {
}
```
I think it's rather inferior, because your doesn't allow C#-like exception
filters. It saves you 14 characters, but limits your "easy" filters to
`instanceof`.
To quote article on C# exception filters:
> For example, let’s say you are writing code to perform some operation
against a dependency, and that dependency will throw an exception with a
*bool* property that tells you whether the operation *IsRetryable*.
> Now, let’s say that as we’re calling this dependency, we want to be able
to retry any error that has *IsRetryable == true* up to three times, then
abandon if it throws a fourth time.
I think it's legitimate use case and why can't we kill two birds with one
stone? Moreover, I think it's bad idea to add static typing to language in
only one place (catch clauses).
