Try-catching in a single line of code

Do you like reducing your line count at the expense of readability to others? Then you'll like this!

public static class FuncExtensions
{
    public static TResult Catch<TExc, TResult>(this Func<TResult> func, Func<TExc, TResult> handleException) where TExc : Exception
    {
        try
        {
            return func();
        }
        catch (TExc ex)
        {
            return handleException(ex);
        }
    }
}

This lets you write things like:

int x = new Func<int>(DoSomething).Catch((NullReferenceException e) => -1);

instead of

int y;
try
{
    y = DoSomething();
}
catch (NullReferenceException ex)
{
    y = -1;
}

You can of course write overloads for Funcs that take more than one parameter.

Edit: I've written a version that lets you chain catches but I'm not sure if its better or not...

int x = new Func<int>(DoSomething)
    .Catch((NullReferenceException e) => -1)
    .Catch((NotImplementedException ex) => -2)();
