Bad argument. It's not about the presence of a condition after "try". It's
about language consistency.
If you were right, we shouldn't be able to write that:
  $i = 0;
  do
      echo($i++);
  while ($i < 3);

PHP allows it. Nobody cares about it, while I think it's a very ugly
writing. But everybody is accustomed to it, because it's inherited from C
syntax.
And bracketless try/catch doesn't exists in other languages, so it
shouldn't exists in PHP?

More, do not confuse coding conventions (depends on people, changes from
time to time) and language syntax (should be stable and consistent).
