Well this is debatable, but IMHO an exception thrown in either of those
blocks should go up to the enclosing try block, if any. If it's not in a
try block it causes program death. If anyone suggests that
try { .... }
catch Exception::Foo, Exception::Bar { ... }
catch { exception thrown here causes it to start going through catch
blocks again }
then I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn to drink.
