[erlang-questions] erlang:raise/3 considered harmful?

According to the last couple paragraphs in this message:

http://erlang.org/pipermail/erlang-questions/2013-November/075928.html

a bare catch will create a stacktrace when an exception of type 'error'
is caught, whereas a try ... catch will only create a stacktrace if you
call erlang:get_stacktrace(). I know that a while back parts of mnesia
were rewritten to move to try ... catch, presumably prevent the cost of
unneeded stacktrace creation.
