Years ago, I justified my preference for exceptions because the 
rest of the call stack didn't have to be cluttered with 
"rethrowing". Having to pattern match is better, but still a 
pain. The macro solution they went with is the only one I know of 
that is as easy to use as exceptions without the associated 
baggage.
