The point is partly academic, as I am working on learning MPL.  However, I
think that this technique, or some derivation thereof, can help make code
more maintainable, since you can reuse my_exception_handler whenever you
want to handle the same exception in the same way, even though you catch it
in a different place.  With catch blocks the only recourse, so far as I can
tell, is to basically copy-and-paste the catch code to each location where
you need the exception handling code.
