This is pretty much what we do in Sociomantic code base, re-using 
all exception instances and declaring that holding those (or 
making a fiber switch while handling) is illegal by convention.

Only other option I can imagine is to use reference-counted 
exception pools but this can't be implemented in the current 
language state.
