OldException's catch etc should treat new Exception types as DynException's
OldException's catch etc should treat new Exception types as DynException's. Currently new style exceptions are just not caught, which is a bug. It also means that cleaning up with functions like finally doesn't work properly.
Additionally, functions like bracket, onException, finally which don't actually exposed the exception type could just use the new functions directly, rather than reimplementing them.
