Yes, ignoring an exception is an explicit move when the default mechanism is to abort execution. Since it is rare, I don't see a problem.

Do you dislike "unused variables" being compilation errors, too?

Not really. It has changed my coding style so I now only add variables when needed, even in languages like JS. I only get the "unused variable" error about once a month.
