[web2py] Re: Can/should {{super}} works even without a parent block?

[Ross Peoples]

While not the prettiest solution, you can always use 
{{try:}}{{super}}{{catch}} in views. I know that sounds like a bandaid, but 
I think an exception is the desired behavior here. Otherwise, returning an 
empty string would make troubleshooting difficult if you accidentally 
mistyped the name of the block and the block keeps showing up as empty.
