try..catch for Lua 5.2?

[steve donovan <steve.j.donovan@...>]

Hi all,

This has certainly been discussed before, e.g a patch:

http://lua-users.org/lists/lua-l/2008-01/msg00654.html

and also by Metalua, etc.

We have a perfectly decent exception mechanism, but it is awkward to
use. So could at least we have some syntactical sugar over the pcall
mechanism?
