The latest version does, however it does not really work as expected
for all possible constructs of try and catch. I think it works pretty
well for the most basic stuff though! The reason why it does not work
in all cases yet, is that quite a few things in the try, catch syntax
clashes with other erlang constructs. It is hard for the erlang mode
to distinguish between things such as ordinary catch and catch in
try.. catch, after in try.. catch and after in receive etc. Alas we have
not had time to resolve all these issues.
