IIRC I remember Walter saying that we should only bother to be 
able to catch C++ exceptions derived from std::exception, as 
opposed to say ints or strings. I believe the line was "those who 
throw ints should get what they deserve".

Apart from that I believe they should "just work", although I 
haven't tested.

OT I'm sorry I could make it to HK, I'm busy with uni all this 
week. I could possibly do telepresence though.
