    However I find that exceptions come up on the damnedest things, break you
out of loops, cause problems all around and don't let you return to where you
were, esp. when you use general catch all exceptions.  As Alex(?) said, you
don't return to where you were so, to me, it seems quite impossible to be able
to catch /all/ exceptions gracefully, ever.
