    <thetext>Moz supports multiple conditional catch blocks with a try block. It would be nice to see support for this in WebKit.</thetext>

    <thetext>I think we have to mark this WONTFIX.

JavaScript engines are moving to much closer compatibility &amp; spec compliance, and I haven&apos;t seen any progress on this feature on the standards track.  Since this bug has gone nowhere in 5 years, I don&apos;t think we&apos;re aware of any pressing web compatibility needs, and this is not being standardized, I don&apos;t think this is something we&apos;re going to implement.

Hope this seems reasonable, please reopen if this decision seems inappropriate - if there are major website compatibility reasons of standards progress that would justify doing so.</thetext>
