Re: [boost] Boost and exceptions

Hi Robert,

I propose you a different thing. Instead of changing again the name of boost::throw_exception, we can add something like boost::throw_strict_exception that will either throw the given exception or no throw at all depending on BOOST_NO_EXCEPTIONS as it was the case before the introduction of Boost.Exception.

Nothing wrong with this idea. It would address the situation where multiple libraries are re-implenting the same functionaliy to avoid the extra dependency. (I'm not all that crazy about the name - maybe boost::maybe_throw_exception). So I'm on board with this if we can't get a concensus on fixing the root problem. Robert Ramey
