Out of memory errors should be allowed inside nothrow.

Also, I suspect it would be good to disallow:

try
{
   ...
}
catch (Exception e)
{
   /* nothing here */
}

where all exceptions are swallowed and ignored. This kind of thing happens in
Java to work around exception specifications, but I don't see a need for it
here. Of course, there would still be ways to swallow & ignore (just put in a
call to a do-nothing function), but such shouldn't be easy.

What do you think?
