Re: Dynamic errors, choose

/ Richard Tobin <richard@inf.ed.ac.uk> was heard to say:

|
| That seems a bit tortuous: I would have thought that an error that
| is caught still occurs.  And the wording of 4.6 seems to agree:
|
|   ... if any errors occur, the p:try abandons the first subpipeline ...
|
| Can we change the sentence at the end of section 3 to say
|
|   ... can determine statically that a dynamic error will always 
|   occur and not be caught by a p:try/p:catch ...

I suppose.
