Single popes don't represent our whole monastery!

On the contrary. It is exactly because that pope recognised that what the OP was asking for was the reinvention of the standard exception mechanism; that I said my piece and then stayed away from this thread.

The fact that you didn't recognise it as such and tried to justify in terms of a general flow control mechanism; and have subsequently spent an entire thread trying to justify that justifiction with ever more convoluted, crude and amateurish reimplementations of the standard exception mechanism has been most amusing.

Thanks for the entertainment.
