Note that the current boost::failed function template does not throw an 
exception; it returns an unnamed temporary, which is then used in the 
throw-expression, like this:

throw failed<foo>();

The reason is to allow exception info to be added tirectly in the 
throw-expression:

throw failed<foo>() << info1() << info2() .... ;

I completely agree that "failed" is not a good word for this, but I couldn't 
come up with anything better.
