How do you define thread safety for exception objects? The only thread
safety guarantees provided by Boost Exception relate to
boost::exception_ptr objects.

All of the Boost Exception functionality works only if the exceptions
derive from boost::exception. Your only two choices are to do it
explicitly or to call boost::throw_exception which does it for you.
