By RCR#90, it would be:

  exception_intercept({|| raise MyException},
    {|exc|
      case exc
      when MyException
        puts "Got the exception!"
        kill_exception # don't let this exception propogate further
      else
       puts "UH OH!"
      end
    }
  )

But I'm still not sure it's good enough.
