I would prefer to not do that. At least not for 6.2.2.

I don't know - I guess not. Looks like this list:
2007-04-30 02:57  michael
    * chart.tcl, gmtree.tcl, thematic.tcl: Improved error trapping by
      adding catch clauses to open and close statements

2007-04-30 02:48  michael
    * maplabels.tcl: Added catch clause to open and close statments for
      better error trapping. Update some other features.

2007-04-30 02:47  michael
    * mapprint.tcl, raster.tcl, tksys.tcl, vector.tcl: Improved error
      trapping by adding or enhancing catch clauses on open and close
      statements

2007-04-30 01:52  michael
    * georect.tcl: Added error traps (catch clauses) to open and close
      statements.  catch on close will print error to terminal
      (hopefully).

      Also fixed serious bug caused by new map at mapset syntax for maps
      in current mapset. This had broken georect completely.

2007-04-30 01:51  michael
    * gm.tcl, histogram.tcl, rastnums.tcl, runandoutput.tcl: Added
      error traps (catch clauses) to open and close statements.  catch
      on close will print error to terminal (hopefully).

2007-04-29 22:48  michael
    * rastnums.tcl: Added catch to close statement for better error
      trapping

2007-04-29 22:48  michael
    * georect.tcl: Added catch to close statement (following open
      g.region) for better error trapping
