It seems I shot my mouth off without reading the code you posted 
carefully enough. I agree that something like that would solve my 
problem. Actually now that I think about it an even classier way to 
handle this is with an overload that has a  nothrow_t as the second 
argument. Although this would be a bit ugly to do now with the way the 
code is factored...
