Sorry, my mistake.

It wasn't BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTION.  It was boost::throw_exception whose 
semantics were changed in an unanticipated and surprising way.  It seems 
to me that it might be that this was being proposed again.  Maybe my 
concerns are overblown as those who got burned the first time by this 
policy have already eliminated dependency on boost::throw_exception.
