Is it possible to catch exceptions if they are not of a certain type?

Copy code

catch (e: CertainType) {
    // Do nothing
} catch (e: Throwable) {
    ...
}

I would argue that

Copy code

} catch (e: CertainType) {
    throw e
} catch (e: Throwable) {
    ...
}

is more likely to be the right thing to do (for propagating CancellationException, InterruptedException, OutOfMemoryError, etc.)
