Neal Becker: This is (pedantically speaking) a bug in the new throw_exception (it doesn't allow throwing non-class types) that exposes a bug in the serialization library (it throws the invalid_class_name enum value directly instead of constructing an archive_exception from it).
The throw_exception() function template now throws an exception of type that derives the type used to instantiate it, and this doesn't work for non-class types. I admit that I completely missed this case. My recommendation is to change the throw_exception() documentation to specify that it must be used with objects of user-defined types. The alternative solution is to fix the "bug" in throw_exception() and allow non-class types, but that would disable the exception_ptr functionality for these exceptions (on platforms without compiler support for it.)
