[Cuis-dev] On the changes to detect method returns in exception handlers

[Juan Vuletich]

Hi Folks,

As you have already seen in a separate thread, yesterday I pushed 
changes to Exceptions. While the changes are valuable, especially in the 
discussion they have triggered, and in showing an opportunity to improve 
non-trivial parts of the system, I pushed them without required previous 
discussion, and a better analysis of the immediate negative consequences 
in code breakage. I made this mistake all by myself, in a rush to try to 
get the code out even if I didn't have the time to do it in a better 
way. I apologize for this.

I also want to thank you all, especially Hernán, Phil, and Andrés, for 
the constructive attitude in which you engaged in the relevant 
discussion on how to better deal with the issue, instead of focusing on 
the annoyance, I'm sure we'll be able to improve the system after this 
discussion.

To avoid code breakage while we work out what we collectively want to do 
with the method-returns-in-exception-handlers issue, I just pushed 
update #3923 that allows them again, and just logs a note to the 
Transcript. I did this instead of taking back all the changes because 
they are not trivial, and they will be useful for trying different 
approaches.

Thanks,
