I notice that the LEAF documentation comes with benchmarks comparing 
leaf::result to other return-based error handling systems.  That's good.

But I also notice that it doesn't come with benchmarks comparing 
exception-based LEAF with other exception-based error handling systems 
like Boost.Exception.  Nor does it come with benchmarks comparing 
leaf::result with leaf::exception.  That's less good.

I am currently using Boost.Exception, and I am satisfied with its 
functionality, but I am worried about its performance cost.  LEAF claims 
to be a faster functional replacement for Boost.Exception, and is for 
this reason seems worth investigating.  However, this claim does not 
appear to be backed up by any hard numbers.
