But if you catch an error in the middle of the call-stack, then the caller don't have access to this error, so this has the exact same semantic implication as well! And the final caller would sometimes care about that, but no luck, yet I've never seen anyone complaining about how `catch` is terrible for that reason…
Of course it doesn't happen too often, but nor does your recursive async/blocking function example (been using async/await for a decade now, and I've never encountered the issue in actual code) and I suspect that for most purpose, using `block_on` in the blocking function is the sensible thing to do, and it has the same role as a `catch`: the upper function has no way to know there was actually some async stuff under the hood.
