Yes, I guess that's possible, but I think that what contexts catch
(add BOOST_ERROR_INFO) and rethrow is less useful information than,
for example, the caller stack at the time the exception was first
thrown -- which is the type of info BOOST_ERROR_INFO is designed to
stuff in exceptions.

OTOH, if there is a way to detect a catch _automagically_, I suppose
recording each catch in the exception object would be a good thing.
