Peter makes another observation, throw_exception() has always required
that the type passed to it derives from std::exception, because it
allows the boost exceptions to be disabled, in which case the user is
expected to supply a definition of throw_exception that takes a
std::exception reference.

I will change throw_exception to induce a compile error if the passed
type does not derive from std::exception.
