Re: throw or return

Please no. It's way harder to distinguish that from the old syntax.

Anything wrong with try / catch? handle is probably used much more often than try in normal code, too.

I would prefer

catch { Stdio.format_filesystem("/dev/hda2", "ext5"); } handle (Exception e) { case e->invalid_file_system_type: // invalid file system type break; case e->no_permission; case e->not_mounted: // no permission or filesystem mounted break; }

and would think this to be even better

catch { Stdio.format_filesystem("/dev/hda2", "ext5"); } handle (Exception e) { if(e->invalid_file_system_type) { // invalid file system type break; } if(e->no_permission || e->not_mounted) { // no permission or filesystem mounted break; } }
