I don't think exceptions are going anywhere. It might be that new 
libraries tend to avoid them (to work with @nothrow and @live), 
but there is no reason to banish them from the whole language - 
that would only result in huge breakage for limited benefit.

And I suspect Walter didn't mean all code -just the relatively 
low-level stuff that might want to use `@live`. Even if he did, 
community will force him to reconsider.
