Nothing wrong with this idea. It would address the situation where multiple
libraries are re-implenting the same functionaliy to avoid the extra 
dependency.
(I'm not all that crazy about the name - maybe 
boost::maybe_throw_exception).
So I'm on board with this if we can't  get a concensus on fixing the root
problem.
