No. C<die> has for a long time now been the exception throwing mechanism
as well. Nowadays C<die> is only "serious" if you're too lazy to catch the
exceptions it throws.
This proposal just suggests that C<grep>, C<map>, etc. should catch
exceptions emanating from their control BLOCKs and act on them. :-)
