Consider this source code:
---
try {
} catch (IllegalStateException | java.io.IOException ex) {
}
---

In jshell, this will produce the following error:
| Error:
| exception java.io.IOException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement
| } catch (IllegalStateException | java.io.IOException ex) {}
| ^-------------------------------------------------------^

Seems the span of the error is incovenient - there is no issue with the catch block as such, it is just with a single exception in the multi-catch.

A better error span would be like:
| Error:
| exception java.io.IOException is never thrown in body of corresponding try statement
| } catch (IllegalStateException | java.io.IOException ex) {}
| ^-----------------^
