My idea was of course that if you don't exit "handle" with a "break" the exception is rethrown.

The second alternative doesn't allow unmatched exceptions to be rethrown, at least not without heavy magic. That is the main point with a special syntax.
As for the first alternative, I think try/catch is better: It's known from other similar languages, and it's easier to tell apart from the current catch syntax. Actually, I'm not entirely sure there are no truly ambiguous cases if the first keyword is the same.
