You should be careful with such a thing. I don't know Clojure's internals, but there's the possibility that it's using exceptions to model certain kinds of control transfer; on the other hand, not all Throwables are Exceptions, they can be Errors too: should ignore- errors swallow StackOverflowError or not? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
