I Like the approach used in FileSystem, I didn't know it and was
impressed by its simplicify and efficiency to produce a perfect blend
of 2 very different error handling technics. So I'd be very interested
in having something similar in GGL.

However, when reading the second proposition of Hartmut about
extending Boost.System, I didn't see the relation with the first one.
Especially, I can't see what a GGL algorithm would finally look like,
and what it'd give from a user's point of view. Does it still look
like the "some_function" function in the first example?

Thanks
Bruno
