I was under the impression that some people here believed using a

Well, to be clear, this example which you posted is IMHO a very bad
idea, for reasons I explain elsewhere in this thread:

Function TrySomething : boolean;
begin
result := false;

Try
SomeCallThatMightProduceAnException;

// ...

result := true;
Except
end;
end;

I hope that removes the ambiguity.
