First of all: I'm wary because partial error handling seems dangerous to mel do
I know all possible Exception types and which ones should abort and which ones
should continue? Or will it encourage try ... ignore (Exception)? I have to
admit that I'm also a sceptic of converting every possible info/warning/error
to an Exception but that's a different topic ;-)
If we decide to add something like the above I would very much prefer the try
... ignore block to be an expression with value null on error, making the first
line obsolete. One could still use
$lines = try file($filepath) ignore (FileLockedException) ?? [];
if another default value is preferred.
