Re: IllegalCatch extension.

Hi, that information is not available to the check to make this *smart*decision.

In reality the only option is to use the Suppression Filter as you currently

In practice if the use of the API is encapsulated, it should not be a major
inconvenience. But, if the API is used all throughout your code
base.................

Cheers,
Oliver
