The reason there are so few is that exception handling was a relatively
recent addition to Squeak - about a year or so. IIRC, the version in the
base image still needs a little final tweaking. I think Tim Rowledge has
the necessary modifications to make it complete. I know several people
have been lobbying for inclusion. When/if that happens, some adventurous
Squeakers may embark on a mission to add rational exception handlers to
the rest of the image.
