It actually doesn't matter what's more common (and I agree with 
Jonathan, there's actually a lot of throwing calls because of the calls 
that you make into other functions). What matters is that there are 
functions that are actually nothrow that aren't marked nothrow. Hence 
the desire that these functions should actually be marked nothrow 
implicitly so people who care about that can just use the functions 
without issue.
