Effects include: (a) try/catch can catch type errors if they are not detected statically (b) a try/catch around the body of a function does NOT catch the type error that occurs if the body of the function delivers the wrong type of result. This can be caught only by putting a try/catch around the function call. (c) equally, a try/catch in the initializer of a variable will not catch the error when the initializer's result does not match the variable declaration. In the case of a global variable this error cannot be caught, because there is nowhere to catch it. 82911 1 mike 2013-02-11 16:09:05 +0000 Action on the editor to check whether this is consistent with what the spec currently says or if not, what changes are needed. 83128 2 mike 2013-02-13 23:24:56 +0000 The rules for try/catch have been clarified to cover the points listed. 83220 3 mike 2013-02-16 12:38:43 +0000 Changes applied in draft N.
