It's not used by you - which btw is usually not a good idea - if you've
got an exception, you usually should somehow react to it - at least log
it or something, that's what the exceptions are for, if the situation
does not require special handling it shouldn't be an exception. But it
may be very useful for debugging, for example. Especially if somebody
other than you looks at this code and tries to figure out what is going
on. Removing vital information - like ability to see which exception was
thrown - just to save 3 keystrokes - looks like a very misguided idea to me.
