Ah, I remember a Python-based test system idea where the "except"
keyword meant "expect":

    try: event()
    except user.CloseRequest():
        ...
    except user.SendRequest():
        ...
    except peer.DataIndication():
        ...
    except Timeout():
        ...

etc.

In the end, though, we came up with something better.
