Description:
------------
catch requires empty {} and not just ";"





Reproduce code:
---------------
try { statement } catch (exception); is not allowed: PHP Parse error:  syntax error, unexpected ';', expecting '{'

Expected result:
----------------
try { statement } catch (exception); should work (catch exception, do 
nothing) exactly like try { statement } catch (exception) {}; does.

Something like this would alter the parser and need a 2/3 vote on a PHP RFC.
