because [s~]/[r~] is a 1-to-n connection (with n=0..N) and 
[throw~]/[catch~] is a n-to-n connection.
making both ends settable in (one of) the two pairs, will eventually 
invalidate the "1"-side of this relation (and "1" is really a fixed size)

i haven't looked at your patch, but this is the way to go: combine 
[catch~]+[send~] or [r~]/[throw~] to achieve whatever you want.

not if you have the correct execution order. (but probably i _should_ 
have a look at your patch)
