Re: catching specific exceptions

Robert> But I don't think that this works, and the manual doesn't mention the
Robert> <exceptname> version (instead delving into the gcc specifics of

Robert> So either there's a bug in the help, or in the manual, or both.

This feature was documented but never implemented.
I think it would be a good feature to have.  Here's the bug:
