Are there any plans to support handling of exceptions thrown during joinable thread execution? I recall Usenet discussions with proposals varying from Futures to throwable join():

try { thread.join(); } catch (std::runtime_error& e) { ... }

Any ideas?

Doesn't this require a certain amount of compiler support? IIRC, some compilers don't support throwing exceptions across thread boundaries...
