I'm quite opposed to changing try/catch flow with this additions for the same reasons that Stas and Pierre mentioned. Especially since this can perfectly be achieved without it and a few more ifs/whiles/gotos. There no need to have a gentle/nice-to-have syntax to handle the cases of libraries abusing exceptions.
