There's already support for it.

I never got the point of boost.exception though.
If you want exception info, just hook into your exception runtime and
get all of them, instead of just the ones thrown with the boost
exception magic.
The point of Boost Exception is to augment exceptions in flight regardless of their exact type. At the point of the throw, you don't typically have all relevant information to put in the exception object, for example when reporting a file read error you don't have the file name available. Boost Exception allows you to add file names and anything else later on.
