Is this proven or just an assertion on your part?

One issue that haven't seen addressed, is how to _not_ have exceptions.

I want to use a core module (non-core can do anything they want) but
I'd like to write it in procedural mode.

        try {
                $obj->method...
        } 
        catch { }
        finally {}

or

        $status = $obj->method...


And have both work properly.
