Of course with Perl 6 modules will be MUCH easier

If you contrast it with an explicit try block, sure, it looks better.
But
that's not what I compare it with. I compare it with Perl 5's:
$opus.write_to_file($file) or die "Couldn't write to $file: $!";
That has some known prob

Sorry, P5.
Before the grammar police attack...
my $c = (defined($a) ?? $a :: $b);
Parens for clarity.

A more interesting question is *when* to put something into the core

Hmm. I think I may have missed Luke's point. Which was (presumably):
what if C<$opus.write_to_file($file);> validly returns C?
In which case I think we just fall back to:
try{$opus.write_to_file($file); CATCH {die "Couldn't write to $file: $!"}}
which is, after all, only 5 characters long

error if he feels like it, but let the module report the error if not,
in a concise way.
What about something along the lines of a C statement modifier,
like:
$opus.write_to
