I think that message was added recently for the folks at Sociomantic,
because they want to be able to reuse buffers for exception messages rather
than passing them as string like is normally done. So, they can override
message to provide the message instead of using msg. I have no idea why it
wouldn't be nothrow though. That was probably an oversight. Regardless, if
you're not doing anything with overriding message in your own code, then
using msg should work just fine.
