In some cases, multiple exceptions require the exact same handling code in a
catch block, but are not the only children of a common base class.

class MyExceptionA : Exception {}
class MyExceptionB : Exception {}
class MyExceptionC : Exception {}

void main()
{
    try
    {
        trySomething();
    }
    catch (e : MyExceptionA, MyExceptionB)
    {
        // handle A and B
    }
    catch (MyExceptionC e)
    {
        // handle C a different way
    }
}

This avoid the current messy solutions such as duplicating the bodies, using
goto (does this even work?), moving the code to a function, or catching the
base class and using typeinfo to choose.
