I think this is great, for selfish reasons. I'm currently working on a
project that uses the clang and LLVM API. clang and LLVM coding
conventions are to compile w/o exceptions and without RTTI. I'm able to
compile the Boost that I use (Spirit/Proto/Fusion
+ deps mostly) without RTTI (after a minor fix to the provided Boost
workaround), but getting jazz to compile without exceptions is a larger
task. This would make it easier.

clang and LLVM do not use exceptions and RTTI because they found that compiling without
these two features decreases binary size and increased runtime speed. Given how popular
clang and LLVM are, I think any changes that Boost can make to reduce RTTI/exception
dependencies without decreasing the functionality or portability of Boost would be good
for adoption.
