Sounds good.

You probably can't do anything about this. What kind of recovery would 
you do? And why?

Remember the rule: only catch things you have a meaningful action to 
catch (there are reare exceptions, usually around daemon like activity 
where you're running some task: catch and log the exception, and poceeed 
to the next task/request - you're not "recovering" or repairing here, 
just not terminating some outer framework).

What's tricky about a MemoryException? Just let it out, like a bunch of 
other "system" type exceptions. Can you describe what you want to do 
with MemoryError?
