For example:

    iex> try do
    ...>   :ok
    ...> rescue
    ...>   e -> e
    ...> else
    ...>   # :ok -> :ok is missing
    ...>   :not_ok -> :not_ok
    ...> end
    ** (TryClauseError) no try clause matching:
    ...

The following fields of this exception are public and can be accessed freely:
