I'm definitely biased, but the only argument for handler-specific
variables, that I found in the discussion was that all the other 
languages (especially Java) have per-handler variables.

That one isn't strong in my mind.  Did I miss other arguments?

(It would really surprise me, if implementation effort wasn't
rather an argument *for* the "as ..."-clause instead of against,
but I may of course be wrong there)

Nice revanche for my previous personal mix-up, (for
which I apologized recently).

I'm not the options-fancier. No, I honestly would not
advocate any such options (not even with better names)

I'd indeed desire that, on position 2 (right after #1: "also
drop the per-handler variable lists").   Leaving it as in the
TIP would be position 3, and no-"try"-at-all somewhere near
1000 followed only by -option'ed versions of "try".

Oh really? I thought that was being replaced...  (just kidding :-)
