Comment (by Petr Machata <pmachata@…>):

 An exception is being thrown in header file.  There's an existing tool for
 that in boost, boost::throw_exception.  Many other (boost) libraries do it
 like that (though admittedly not all).  It's a correctness issue, too,
 that code is invalid when compiled with -fno-exceptions.  I don't think
 boost should support every odd compiler flag out there, but it seems that
 support for this one is well established.
