I don't. This thread is predicated on the assumption that the current 
approaches to exception handling are wanting, so it's time to look 
outside the box. It's also reasonable to assume that people involved in 
this thread do have an understanding of current mechanisms, so rehashes 
thereof are unnecessary.
