#40014 [NEW]: "try, catch" -- Let's Empower It, Please!!!

Bug description: "try, catch" -- Let's Empower It, Please!!!

Description:
------------
Hey, men!

What about to enhance the "try, catch" Statement so that the code inside
"try" would transparently cause a Fatal Error that, then, is handled
through the "catch" Blocks -- just as occurs in JavaScript?!

Reproduce code:
---------------
try {
/*@@@@@@*/ echo("[global] -- causing a Fatal Error...");
$nonObjVar->method(); //###### "nonObjVar" isn't defined
}
catch(Exception $error) {
/*@@@@@@*/ echo("[global] -- some handling being executed...");
//###### some handling...
}
/*@@@@@@*/ echo("[global] -- [end]");

Expected result:
----------------
The output would be the following:

# [global] -- causing a Fatal Error...
# [global] -- some handling being executed...
# [global] -- [end]

Actual result:
--------------
Obviously, the output with the current implementation is the following:

# [global] -- causing a Fatal Error...
# ( PHP Notice ) undefined Variable: nonObjVar
# ( PHP Fatal Error ) call to member a Funcion ( "method()" ) on a
non-Object

Same here, have been getting that behavior as well. Keeping fatal
errors from users would be nice. It would also let us exit gracefully,
and not leave the users hanging.

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
[url]http://www.php.net/manual/[/url] and the instructions on how to report
a bug at [url]http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php[/url]

Just register an error handler that throws an exception.
