If I understand you correctly, what you're proposing would look a bit like this:
try {
mayThrow()
} catch (e) {
handleException(e)
} else {
try {
shouldNotThrowButOneNeverKnows()
} catch(e) {
handleExceptionInElse(e)
}
} finally {
cleanup()
}
I have two questions:
* `else` as a keyword implies that the `else` block is executed
instead of another code block. What would that another block be?
* if `try` block is the last one in a method, it'll be evaluated as an
expression and the result of the last expression inside try/catch is
the method's return value. What would be the return value in your
proposal?
Cheers,
