Hello

I have a question -  why can I throw but not catch multiple objects at the 
same time?

eg:

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
        try
        {
                throw(1,2);
        }
        catch(int i)
        {
                printf("caught %d\n",i);
        }
        return 0;
}

If I have catch(int i, int j) I get a compile error with gcc but the throw
compiles fine. Also if I have brackets around the throw values it catches
the 2, if I miss out the brackets it catches the 1. Is it simply treating
the brackets as a single expression?
