It would be preferable to ban any form of try { ... } $ident { .. } from a perspective of having maximum flexibility in the future.

Should those all suggest match instead, or should that just be catch?

cc @estebank ^-- I would probably say yes, but that's more a diagnostics issue than future lang design flexibility.

I'm thinking of the following case:

    let _ = try {
        true
    }
    let _ = ();

where the error is the lack of ;, which is why I'm a bit weary of suggesting the right syntax for every ident. The current output for this the following, which I feel doesn't hinder understanding more than complaining about an inexistent catch would:

error: expected one of `.`, `;`, `?`, or an operator, found `let`
 --> src/main.rs:7:5
  |
6 |     }
  |      - expected one of `.`, `;`, `?`, or an operator here
7 |     let _ = ();
  |     ^^^ unexpected token

let mut error = self.struct_span_err(self.prev_span,
"keyword `catch` cannot follow a `try` block");
error.help("try using `match` on the result of the `try` block instead");
