Of course I can put the exception handling code into a function to not duplicate it. However, I still need to write this construct over and over again. Is there a way to handle it more generic? Like:

??? (... code ...);

or

??? { ... code ...};

Where ??? would do the try and re-use the exception handling code everytime? I hope this is understandable.

An idiom known in C++ circles is a Lippincott function:

Just wanted to mention that it can be a part of a clean solution.
