I've written code like that.
It lets you centralize a bunch of exception handling:

        try { ...code that throws }
        catch ( ... ) { HandleExceptions (); }

void HandleExceptions () {
        try { throw; }
        catch ( type1 ) {}
        catch ( type2 ) {}
        catch ( type3 ) {}
and so on.
        }

I want a machine that thinks I'm more important than it is, and acts like it.
