> I've always assumed/understood that the two are equivalent.  To be more
precise I've always assumed/understood that the first is short-hand for the
second.  That somewhere in the exception system there is code like

    exception return: (handlerBlock cull: exception)

so that if the handler block returns a value the exception is sent return:
with its value.

Phrasing the question the other way around, in what ways would anyone expect

[] on: Exception do: [ 42 ]
[] on: Exception do: [:ex | ex return: 42 ]

to differ?
