I don't see much of a reason for this. When I implemented exception 
chaining, I went to quite a bit of work to understand the 32bit SEH, 
mostly by reading the 64bit SEH which is a lot nicer and *far* better 
documented. In most respects it's the same as 32bit SEH but with a lot 
more restrictions on function calling conventions. The thing I don't 
know about is how nested functions mesh into the ABI requirements.

Also worth noting that the reason the ABI restrictions exist, is to 
allow exceptions to cross language barriers.

We should play nice.
