tl;dr: I show how the goal of Soni L's exception spaces can be addressed today, via less intrusive means. (Assuming I understand their proposal, that is.)
what's the point of having standard types if you're not supposed to use them because they mask bugs? what if you end up with a nested call to your own library and catch it at the wrong place? (or, indeed, someone else also uses this technique but somewhere along the way a built-in exception is being caught) you're just delaying the issue/shifting it around, instead of solving it once and for all.
