Any chance of changing the language such that the 'with handler' could just be
'handler'?  Basically, does anybody mind?  Its somewhat trivial but I can think
of a few times i've tried to use 'with' as a variable.  Just one of those
irritation factors is all, when it could just be:

catch {
  //
} handler {
  //
}

Just a thought (it was something Crag and I discussed ages ago).
