Making a more general point, I feel it would be VERY useful for someone to draft USER DOCUMENTATION for the exception handling. It would explain, say, for an intelligent scientific-computing undergraduate, what these features can achieve; give examples including code; give examples that show pitfalls and why the design is chosen as it is. If we can describe it simply, it improves our confidence that we have a viable and useful design.
Anyone willing to have their arm twisted? Or to twist someone's arm? Ideally this valuable work should be shared by more than one person.
John,
I volunteer for this.
Since I have been persistent advocate of this exception-handling system I see it is only fair I do my share of the heavy lifting. Of course, I welcome help and continued input from yourself, Arnold, and others, as well.
