Description

« Hide

Boo does not allow anonymous typed handlers as C# does:

catch(ArithmeticException) { }

The attached patch corrects ~~BOO-876~~ and this issue. Anonymous typed handlers are now allowed in the form:

except as ArithmeticException:
  pass

Which is equivalent to the C# code above.
