The general response to "except: pass" from the Old Ones on the
python list (and those younger ones who tend to prescribe good
style) is a fairly immediate "don't use bare excepts". So
endorsing this "silence" syntax would be tantamount to condoning
bare excepts. I'm not sure you'll find much support.
