The very name of the term -- exception -- argues against using it as a
standard flow-of-control construct. Python's for/else is better; it'd
be nice to see that show up in Java/C# some day.
This is wandering way far afield of the list charter. In an effort
to maintain some relevance, I'll point out that code reviews, and
crypto programming, are rarely done, and arguably shouldn't, by
programming wizards.
