The use of functional throw(), try() and catch() was a design approach
rejected very early by me and most who have looked into this problem.

Nobody wants to reimplement via a library exception handling with
exceptions disabled. It's an impoverished experience, and leads to
brittle code. Just enable C++ exceptions if you want exceptions.
