This class implements a try/catch expression. It consists of a try expression, and a sequence of Nametest/Catch
expression pairs. If the try expression succeeds, its result is returned; otherwise the error code of the
exception is matched against each of the Nametests in turn, and the first matching catch expression is
evaluated.

<DL>
<DD>Perform type checking of an expression and its subexpressions. This is the second phase of
static optimization.
<p/>
<p>This checks statically that the operands of the expression have
the correct type; if necessary it generates code to do run-time type checking or type
conversion. A static type error is reported only if execution cannot possibly succeed, that
is, if a run-time type error is inevitable. The call may return a modified form of the expression.</p>
<p/>
<p>This method is called after all references to functions and variables have been resolved
to the declaration of the function or variable. However, the types of such functions and
variables may not be accurately known if they have not been explicitly declared.</p>
<p/>
<p>If the implementation returns a value other than "this", then it is required to ensure that
the location information in the returned expression have been set up correctly.
It should not rely on the caller to do this, although for historical reasons many callers do so.</p>
