I know, it would by syntaxic sugar for try-except.

I am worried that Python's significant indentation might interfere with
some of the strengths of "goto fail", for example placement of code that
could be vital for national security. We might therefore need an exception
to the indentation syntax so that

if (error):
    raise to fail
    raise to fail
    <suite>

is interpreted as

if (error):
    raise to fail
raise to fail
if 1:
    <suite>
