What would the difference between that and this be?
try {
# fragile code
} catch { # catch ALL exceptions
switch ($EXCEPTION->name) {
case IO { ... }
case Socket { ... }
}
}
The catch clause would catch all exceptions. The one thrown would be
placed in a "global" $EXCEPTION variable.

Is it really a hierarchy? Must it be? Your strawman looks more like
an enumeration to me.
