Re: [boost] Review Request: Boost Exception

That's correct, but I think a likelier scenario for standardization would be to include Boost.Exception as-is, so that it a) does not affect any current standard library or user code, and b) retains its full usefulness (I'm thinking here of your rationale section "Why doesn't boost::exception derive from std::exception?").

It would be much more useful to add the ability to transport arbitrary data from throw to catch to std::exception itself. I believe that this doesn't contradict your a) or b) points.
