Heh, that's not OO-like syntax!  That's a switch statement!  :-(

Maybe this is "OO":

        attempt = new Try { cough "outa here"; };
        attempt.catch( matawba => { sustain } );
        attempt.catch( ebola => { overrule } );
        attempt.catch( { punt } );
        attempt.try();

Off I go...
