Agreed.

How about dumping the message to stderr as a best effort if the message 
is a literal? Hm... On the other hand, undefined behavior means that 
even trying that can cause harm like radiating a human with too much 
medical radiation. :(

Perhaps, if it is a complicated expression like calling format(), then 
it should be an error?
