I don't see this refactoring as being used often. What do you mean by 'even
move it to parent scopes' ? Change a local variable in an attribute ?

Adding a try/catch is doable. Guessing the exception type is nearly
impossible. Even C++ compiler can't do that (because of virtual call among
other things). Even a basic analysis requires very advanced expression
analysis.
I would classify those two in the 'code generation' category rather than
refactoring. This is probably a tool we will develop when we have a good
code rewritter, as it can be very useful.
