Code inspection: try-catch and try-finally statements can be merged

This inspection reports a try block whose only statement is another try block. Nested try statements like this can usually be flattened into a single try with combined handlers, which makes the control flow easier to read.

Example

                try
                {
                    try
                    {
                        DoWork();
                    }
                    catch (InvalidOperationException)
                    {
                        Recover();
                    }
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {
                    Log();
                }
            

                try
                {
                    DoWork();
                }
                catch (InvalidOperationException)
                {
                    Recover();
                }
                catch (Exception)
                {
                    Log();
                }
