That is a much better solution. I have coded that and tested it against
an example file, and it works.
I've attached a patch. One note: I used diff flag -b to ignore whitespace
because most of the change is that the big `catch' statement isn't
directly returned but assigned to proceed-p. So most of it got indented
further but no change other than whitespace. I can diff it without -b if
you prefer.
