(GDB will have bugs where it thinks try-catch.cc is `try - catch.cc' :-)

I see your point.  I think here the question is more one of keeping the 
test focused on exercising a specific feature - try/catch - rather than 
a coding style issue.

Anyway, your call. (Hmm, we desperatly need some file name completer 
tests including some containing spaces.)
