- It should be noted that what David Shang was proposing was NOT
- strictly speaking resumption semantics, where processing resumes
- immediately after the point where the exception signal was generated,
- but retry semantics, where processing resumes before the point where
- the exception signal was generated. Although I have not programmed in
- it, Eiffel (and perhaps its relative Sather) allows retry semantics and
- I am under the impression that it works well for some problems.
