Comment (by Jonathan Jones <jonathan.jones@…>):

 You aren't interested in catching it directly.  However, the
 implementation of boost::current_exception re-throws the exception and
 catches it as exception_detail::clone_base to determine if it's
 "cloneable".  If exception_detail::clone_base doesn't have default
 visibility, boost::current_exception doesn't work if the exception
 originated from a different library.
