- Exceptions as defined in the ARM require run-time type
- information, and since no one has figured out how to do that,
- exceptions will be on hold for a while I suspect. Maybe
- the exception handling mechanism will have to be modified
- to simplify the requirements for RTTI to a manageable level
- (like requiring all 'thrown' objects to be 'derived' from
- a fixed exception class)
