 Yes, it should; but you should always re-"throw" 
 unless you're really sure you want to break the 
 entire world. I think that should ALWAYS be true 
 for an anonymous catch(...), though. If you don't 
 know what it is, you can't "finalize" the exception 
 recovery, and you need to just clean up your own 
 local context and let someone else further down 
 handle it.

 C++ should also provide exception types for cancel 
 and exit, so you can write "catch (<name of exit 
 exception>)"... as well as enabling the author 
 to document cancellable methods in the prototype."
