In <501@bthpyd.UUCP>, gossett@bthpyd.UUCP (Eric Gossett) discusses
the problem of a rescue clause that can ``fix'' the cause of the exception.

The ability to ``continue'' on a given exception, after calling the
appropriate ``continue_on_signal'' routine, addresses this
problem at least in part. See ``Eiffel: The Libraries'', page 20.
The mechanism may need to be generalized.
