  Ya. I started using try/catch some time ago, but I usually stumble
upon OTP, Either because of the famous "tagged returns VS exceptions" or
because of gotchas with the standard behaviours. We have developed a
custom supervisor and a library wrapping gen_server usage to avoid some
issues. I guess it is difficult to fix preserving backwards
compatibility, maybe it is worth developing a second generation of
behaviours ...
