It seems like people like writing `ignore-errors' a lot more than
`condition-case', and I think `ignore-errors' is the wrong thing to say
90% of the time.
So would it be a good idea to add a new convenience macro `ignore-error'
to entice people to not use `ignore-errors' so much? It would take an
error condition as its parameter, so:
(ignore-error 'file-error
(directory-files dir))
which would simply expand to
(condition-case _
(directory-files dir)
(file-error nil))
It indents nicely, too. :-)
