Yup.  I've become increasingly convinced that the whole notion of
catch_clauses is wrong; we should use flow analysis to find them
later, and to generic code motion of unlikely code to the end of the
function.  (Such a mechanism would allow us to use profiling feedback
easily as well, for example.)  But, for now, we've got what we've got.

This is OK.  Thanks!
