Value type exceptions as proposed by Herb and others are still 
exceptions.

Error codes are just to keep the "exceptions only over by dead 
body" crowd happy, and to try to move them away from 
non-compliant C++ with exceptions and RTTI turned off.

C++/WinRT turns COM error codes into C++ exceptions, Android NDK 
has C++ exceptions enabled by default.
