Hi,
I am not sure where, but I am convinced that I have read that it is
recommended for Boost libraries that they not use naked throw expressions
but instead call boost::throw_exception. Is that true?

If so, it enforces a dependency of more than half Boost libraries on
Boost.Exception. Am I right?

If so, is this the right recommendation in the context of the discussion
about reducing dependencies between the libraries?

Regards,
&rzej
