Try, Catch, and Ignore

Before today, I used to write try/catch statements where I acknowledged the error but I didn’t want to do anything about it…

try
{
new Error();
}
catch (e:Error)
{
// Do nothing!
}

After today, I will be doing…
try
{
new Error();
}
catch (ignored:Error){}

There is nothing earth shattering bleeding edge about this. However it’s one of those small tiny geek cool things about readable code. Picked it up from some J2ME code I read.
