In my opinion it's good to have a syntax to catch a many exceptions "at once". But this is yet another special syntax case for a sequence of things, where instead a built-in tuple syntax is more uniform and better. Tuples are a data structure more fundamental and more important than associative arrays. In Python this syntax caused troubles: http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3110/ Bye, bearophile
