[erlang-questions] variable propagation in try

Hello,
I understand that passing variables between different blocks of a try catch
expression is mostly unsafe, because in case of expressions it is not
guaranteed that the variable binding actually happened.
But why using a variable in a clause after "of" that is bound in the block
after "try" is marked as unsafe by the compiler?
For example:
```
f() ->
try
{A, B} = a:b(),
A
of
ok ->
B %% unsafe ???
catch _:_ ->
a:b()
end.
```
thanks
Peter
