Thanks for pointing that out, John. As a lurker & relative newbie who's
still struggling to wrap her head around several concepts (esp.
security), I understood that error handling couldn't completely go away,
but I wasn't real clear on where it moved to with try/catch.

I'm still not all that clear on it (I'm a long way away from
understanding most of the stuff you guys talk about), but every little
revelation helps.
