Thank you for testing.

I fixed the first assert, I hadn't tested catch_<> when there is no
exception. It works now.

The diagnostic_info and verbose_diagnostic_info asserts are because those
types were designed to detect attempts to propagate types which no handler
cares about. In your example this doesn't happen, so LEAF doesn't
instantiate diagnostic_info/verbose_diagonstic_info, but it thinks they
must have been instantiated. :)

I'll have to think a bit about this one. I'll probably make these types
wrappers with a pointer inside, which then can be null in this case. In the
mean time, the workaround is to make the handler take these types by const
*, e.g.:

[ ]( leaf::verbose_diagnostic_info const * v )
{
  if(v) std::cerr << *v;
}
