perl can but should we? it seems David isn't fan of the idea.

that's why si doc is coming too.

i tested it in this file (this is poor testing)

https://github.com/sympa-community/p5-sympatic/blob/master/t/11_use_autodie.t

when $! is rised, $@ is set so if we include Try::Tiny in Sympatic, we
should be able to write

my $fh =
    try { open ...  }
    catch {
        # deal with $ERRNO
    }

another option is

my $fh
{ no autodie;
    ...
}

but again: autodie is about raising exceptions when didn't and provide a
decent default (as use strict, use warnings).
