Seems like any BLOCK could be an implicit eval {...} or try {...}, with the
exception handling stuff triggered by following catch or (finally|cleanup)
blocks:
{
kaboom ;
}
catch blah {
}
cleanup {
}
This is like BLOCKs-as-loops. Personally the extra 3 or 4 letters to spell
eval or try don't matter that much to me, and it would make some folks feel
more at home. Though they could be optional, like 'return' before the final
expression in a sub.
