Does Kotlin support catch multiple exceptions similar to Java now?

[tianhao]

Without this support, it can really ends up with some ugly code.

yeah, the best we have right now is to catch Exception and then when on the exceptions internally:

try {
  // ...
} catch (e: Exception) {
  when(e) {
    is IllegalStateException, IllegalArgumentException -> {
      // ...
    }
    else -> throw e
}

but it's still not great
