This would indeed be simple to implement - I apparently just didn't do
it! When put in 'try', I had in mind handling errors thrown from
Java, not creating new exceptions, but as you say, it sounds eminently
reasonable.
I will include this in 5.0a5 (which I'm still thinking should appear
this week.) The code is done, I'm still trying to finish the
documentation. I'm rewriting the entire manual to include newer stuff
in its rightful place, rather than as add-ons.
