I respect your opinion and design choices, but is this a valid reason to actively resists having the C++ language support those that would like to write such code? Many things about C++ bother many people, yet the language doesn't force anything down anyone's throat. My proposal doesn't force you to use destructors that throw, and its formulation should not incur any cost if your destructor don't throw. So what is the harm? --- [ comp.std.c++ is moderated.
