Crumpteen million! I like that. We should add that as an optional tick label for plots.

We've thought about adding a "try/catch/finally" form of error handling, which would be similar to what you are proposing. But I like your idea of somehow re-using the existing reserved words. We've always pushed this feature to the bottom of the list because it was unclear how many people would make use of it. But it certainly fits in with "modernizing IDL", which has been our goal since IDL 8.0.

Hmmm... Maybe now is the time.
