E490 foldopen error can’t be caught

>     try | foldopen | catch | echom v:exception

Of course, here should be trailing `| endtry`.

Bram,
the problem is, the do{} while loop in ex_docmd.c in do_cmdline (line 1289).

If you look at this line:
&& !(did_emsg && used_getline
    && (getline_equal(fgetline, cookie, getexmodeline)
       || getline_equal(fgetline, cookie, getexline)))
Then the loop will always terminate, if did_emsg is set, even so a catch later 
on
might actually catch the error. So one probably also needs to check whether a 
try-clause if active and if those, let the loop continue.

Something like this patch:

diff --git a/src/ex_docmd.c b/src/ex_docmd.c
--- a/src/ex_docmd.c
+++ b/src/ex_docmd.c

+           && !(used_getline
                            && (getline_equal(fgetline, cookie, getexmodeline)
-                              || getline_equal(fgetline, cookie, getexline)))
+                              || getline_equal(fgetline, cookie, getexline))
+           && did_emsg
+#ifdef FEAT_EVAL
+           && cstack.cs_trylevel == 0
+#endif
+           )
            && (next_cmdline != NULL
 #ifdef FEAT_EVAL
                        || cstack.cs_idx >= 0

This almost works, except when using an unknown command like this:
try | foobar|catch|echom v:exception|endtry
then the loop won't terminate.
I am not sure, what the correct abort condition needs to be
in this case.
(and I don't understand all conditions in that loop).
