The other uses are all correct.  They want to handle specific
types of exceptions, like:

  CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
    {
      if (ex.error == MEMORY_ERROR)

  CATCH (ex, RETURN_MASK_ERROR)
    {
      if (ex.error == NOT_AVAILABLE_ERROR)

All other types of exception are rethrown.  So it would be
useless to use RETURN_MASK_ALL for those, because it would
mean we would catch Ctrl-C just to rethrow it again
immediately.

Thanks,
Pedro Alves
