Description:
------------
Feature request: is it possible to introduce the following type of 'catch' clause that is commonly available in OOP langs:


try
{
   ... do something ...
}
catch  /*Catch all exceptions. We don't need to know what is it.*/
{
   echo 'Error';
}

one reminder is that do remember to destroy the exception object that is thrown although it is not caught in a parameter.

i know it can be done 
using:

try
{
   ... do something ...
}
catch (Exception $e)
{
   echo 'error';
}

but the thing is: i don't need the $e variable and in the Zend Studio, it keeps telling me that the $e variable is not used.

A notice in some editor is no reason to change the language.
