failed<read> is quite logical, it's just the failed<read_error> that's
confusing.  Of course, read is a bad name for a tag.  Also, as soon as
you're throwing, *something* failed, so saying that again doesn't seen
to necessary to me.  It's already being said with the throw and the
_error suffix, so the failed name seems like overkill to me.

What about something along the lines of throw after<read_error>(); or
throw because_of<read_error>();, if you want the readability?  Or
perhaps throw annotated<read_error>();?

Disclaimer: I haven't really been following what the template is
supposed to do, so I might be way off.  I'm just commenting on the
readability point.
