->exception is unavoidable because of throw_exception.

I think `throw_exception.hpp` belongs to Boost.Utility for two reasons:

1. That file is older than Boost.Exception.

How old a header is orthogonal to correct design.

2. It introduces a *conditional* dependency to Boost.Exception.

It is misleading to treat this as dependency on a library, because the only Boost Exception header boost/throw_exception.hpp depends on is boost/exception/exception.hpp, which does not include *any* headers. If people are bothered by the exception/exception.hpp dependency, I am not against moving that code in throw_exception.hpp. -- Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
