6.2 Exception Handling

Erlang, and thus LFE, provide a means of evaluating expressions and not only handling normal results, but abnormal termination as well. This is done with (try ... (catch ... )).

Note that (try ... ) doesn't need to have a (catch ...), however, since we will be exploring exception handling in this section, all of our examples will be using (catch ...).
