I just realised that nothrow integer wouldn't compile with -fno-excetpions. 
I was assuming that was it's point. I was thinking maby instead of using 
exceptions you could do something like this in the implementation

if (n = maloc(...) == NULL) exceprion_fun(out_of_memory);
that could be a function that throws with exceptions and handles the error for 
nothrow.
