That is a much better solution.  I have coded that and tested it against
an example file, and it works.

I've attached a patch.  One note: I used diff flag -b to ignore whitespace
because most of the change is that the big `catch' statement isn't
directly returned but assigned to proceed-p.  So most of it got indented
further but no change other than whitespace.  I can diff it without -b if
you prefer.
