When cecil is ready to write an automatic bug checker, finding any
instance of:

try {
   ...
} catch {
}

could be investigated. At the very least, any such instance should make
the other exception as part of the "inner exception".

FYI, there is something you can do with --trace so that it documents any
exception being thrown (even if it gets caught). Don't have mono in front
of me, so I can't test off hand.
