Easier in theory than in practice, I think. Naturally,
there are plenty of places to use "generic" Catch
handlers. (Widget event handlers come immediately
to mind.)

But I haven't had much luck modifying generic
handlers to be "more useful". I usually find
I need to customize each for the particular
need at the time. I guess that's why I just
type the paragraph out. 

Cheers,

David

P.S. Let's just say my fingers had no luck at
all learning EMACS, but they can type Catch 
paragraphs in a hurry! :-)
