The "Try ... Catch ... Finally" is more local than the "on error" is today!

See this example:

The next version of Visual Basic is slated to offer centralized error handling. Visual Basic will support a try…catch…finally construct, just like those "respectable" languages. You’ll be able to put a subroutine at the top of your code and let the errors bubble up into it. Here’s an example of how structured error handling will be implemented: 
Sub SafeWrite()
Try
  Open "Testfile"
•••
  Write #1
Catch
   Kill "Testfile"
Finally
   Close #1
End Try
End Sub

Notice that Java and C++ already use this syntax for error handling.
