Some help of the engine would be good: - automatically set EH_THROW mode at "try" - automatically set EH_NORMAL mode at "catch" (first outmost catch)

Huh? I think it's definitely not obvious that I'd want these to happen automatically. Actually I personally wouldn't, because I'd prefer PHP to continue the way it works and only use exceptions in user-land.

I don't see a problem with auto-detecting if exceptions should be trown when somebody enters a try { } statement?

This is exactly why I never understood not wanting to throw exceptions instead of E_ERRORs. If you aren't 'using exceptions' (i.e. writing code that uses try{} catch{}), you will still get the same behavior (a fatal termination of the script). If you are programming with exceptions you will get the functionality you almost certainly desire. George
