If that's the general consensus, at least for now, would there be any
objection to submitting a patch that has call_function_by_hand invoke
proceed() in a TRY_CATCH?  After cleaning things up it could rethrow.
It would greatly simplify the semantic load of what one has to deal
with there, and allow for easier fixing of some bugs in the process.
