It confuses me because now I don't know which handler will be invoked
for a particular error.

E.g. If within an ex:try block, I call unparsed-text
('file://non-existent-file'), and also reference a global variable,
which makes the same bad call to ('file://non-existent-file') within
it's own ex:try block, which handler gets invoked?

Worse, suppose the call in the global variable doesn't have a try
block? Now do I catch the error or do I creash? I can only predict
this if I know the processor internals (i.e. when the variable
actually gets evaluated). Worse still, is that this may differ even
for a particular processor, and even the author of the processor may
not be able to  predict it (think parallel processing).
