I think I'll go out on a limb, here, and make a pronouncement on
this subject: I've looked at the official documentation of this
`try - except' construct, and, frankly it looks like some megalomaniac

scholars. But then, I knew the person who invented OOP, and I was
almost ready to say that about OOP.
