So far, to me "fail" means 'process dies' and 'no catching'.
When "function" or "case" in the exception matters, is there some `catch`?

    ATE_ids = [(fun (#oa{id = AT_id}) -> AT_id;
                    (#o{id = AT_id}) -> AT_id;
                    (Except) -> throw({myapp_unok, Except}) end)(AT)
               || AT <- ATEs],

If you can name it, you can claim it?
