I don't think this is an ambiguity. After all, catch(bar) is not a valid
catch statement anyway, since the type is woefully missing. If we add a
type, as in catch (Exception bar), the second case, (Exception
bar).baz() ceases to be a valid statement.
I'm probably missing something. Could you explain, please?
