But the whole point is that in some scenarios you want to catch T, not exception_info. You are interested in a read_error and have an appropriate response to it ready, but the rest of the exceptions must be propagated unharmed.
So you catch( read_error const & r ) and use dynamic_cast to see whether it also contains exception_info.
Now I get it. Is there any other way of doing it than dynamic_cast'ing the exception then? I would like to be able to use this in the future too, but the single thing that's making me not want to use it is the use of dynamic_cast -- and somehow, something deep in me wants to come up with a less explicit, but more user-friendly way of doing so. -- Dean Michael C.
