I was previously unaware of that, myself.  I knew it could be done with the
"begin" and "end" keywords, but not without.  What, then, are the begin/end
keywords for?

Like Garrett, I usually use try...of to ensure I am catching errors only
where I expect them.  I don't like to catch errors.  In fact, I usually use
"try" for the "after" clause rather than the "catch"...
