What?
The plan is to keep the syntax that is used in Phobos and get rid
of the one that is not used.
Part of the problem right now is that the grammar spec does not
allow
catch (ExceptionType) doStuff();
I want to change the grammar spec to include this syntax.
I want to get rid of this:
catch doStuff();
I thought that was clear.
