propagation of exceptions over module/language boundaries

Yet more opinions that it's not workable. Good. Nice to bury the idea
thoroughly. Thanks for chipping in, all.

Cheers

Not that it's much use, of course. As you correctly pointed
out, code written in C will not be exception safe; it counts on
the guarantee (valid in C) that if you call a function, it
either returns, or the process is aborted in some way.

Doesn't longjmp+setjmp provide a third alternative?
