* The "Breaking changes" section should include how the

        catch (Exception) { ... }
    else { ... }
  finally { ... }
This code is currently legal and binds the "else" clause to the 
"if" and the "finally" to the first "try". The proposed feature 
will bind the "else" and the "finally" to the second try and 
then probably fail to compile because there is no "catch" or 
"finally" matching the first "try".

Yeah... that's a pain.

How about using different keywords:

try
{
    // blah
}
/*else*/ catch (nothrow)
{
    // on success.
}
