/** Classes representing the components of exception handling.
 *  Each class is independently composable.  Some example usages:
 *  {{{
 *  import scala.util.control.Exception._
 *  import java.net._
 *
 *  val s = "http://www.scala-lang.org/"
 *  val x1 = catching(classOf[MalformedURLException]) opt new URL(s)
 *  val x2 = catching(classOf[MalformedURLException], classOf[NullPointerException]) either new URL(s)
 *  }}}
 *
 *  This class differs from `scala.util.Try` in that it focuses on composing exception handlers rather than
 *  composing behavior.   All behavior should be composed first and fed to a `Catch` object using one of the
 *  `opt` or `either` methods.
