[erlang-questions] Why does Core Erlang have a catch-all clause for everything?

[Loïc Hoguin]

Hello,

A short discussion about exceptions left us wondering why generated Core 
Erlang code always has a catch-all clause for things that don't match? 
Is it so it can throw a specific exception? And what would happen if the 
catch-all was missing and the input failed to match?

Cheers,
