agra 83ec2536af lang: catch/onfail error bindings take parens
try foo() catch (e) { }   // legal
try foo() catch e { }     // parse error with a migration hint

Same capture style as the for-loop. All four catch shapes keep working
with the parenthesized binding — block, bare-expression body, and the
== match sugar — and the no-binding forms are unchanged. onfail follows
the same rule (onfail (e) { }); its expression-cleanup form is
disambiguated by the paren-group-before-brace lookahead, so
onfail (f()); stays an expression cleanup.

AST unchanged; the printer renders the parens; the #run escape help
text updated. Corpus migrated (57 catch + 3 onfail bindings, in-source
parser test strings, specs incl. grammar rules, readme untouched —
no catch examples there).

Regression: examples/1157-diagnostics-catch-binding-needs-parens.sx;
re-captured stderr for 1010/1013/1037/1123 (migrated source echoed in
carets + help text).

// Consuming value-carrying failables with `try` and `catch` (ERR step E2.1b —
// the consumer side of the error-channel tuple ABI). `try f()` on a
// `-> (T, !E)` callee binds the value slot on success and propagates the error
// on failure (a pure-failable caller returns the tag; a value-carrying caller
// returns `{undef, tag}`). `f() catch (e) BODY` yields the value slot on success
// or the handler body's value on failure, merged through a block parameter.
// The producer side is `examples/228-value-failable.sx`.
