This is my feeling too. I can't remember having a need for such
needle-sharp targeting of exception catching, and if I ever did,
it would be such a rare thing that I wouldn't mind writing things
in a different way to achieve it.
With respect, perhaps you should consider it (for appropriate
applications). When troubleshooting (often an activity conducted under
more pressure than coding) it helps to have as much information as
possible at your fingertips. Oh, I know you can always work through a
trace (if one is available) to see exactly where an error occurred, but
that takes time.
