I'd like to recommend just "catch" instead of "otherwise",
because sometimes you'll do this:

        try {
                # fragile code
        }
        catch {
                # handle other exceptions
        };

And it would look silly to use "otherwise" there.

You could make it so "catch" takes a list of 0 or more exception
class names.
