There's no consensus whatsoever on using that.  It's just a new, interesting 
idea at this point, and it's incredibly experimental. Some folks are playing 
around with it right now, but until they've ironed it out, there's not much 
point in discussing whether we should add it to Phobos IMHO. It's also 
something that we can add on top of the current exception scheme at a later 
date, so we don't have to do anything with it now. We'll have to give it more 
bake time before we make any decisions about it. And I believe that the main 
proponents of it agree with that assessment.
