Description:
------------
Can you add alternate syntax for try ... catch?  Something like:

try :
 ...
catch () :
 ...
endtry;

I'm using exceptions on presentation pages and this syntax would make the source much more readable.

Nope, we won't add more "old-style" alternative syntax like this.

Can you explain why you declined that?

Because I'm not the only one using the alternative syntax in views/templates, especially for if/elseif/else and some old-school pages that do not have anything like a controller require try/catch statements mixed in HTML, so that syntax would really help.

Whether or not this will ever be added to the official PHP release, there is a similar proposed patch for PHP 5.4 here:  https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62164
