If it comes to a crunch, me too.  I think your idea of forcing an exception
in the frame's destructor (to get the stacks cleaned up, and any suspended
"finally" blocks executed) renders this a non-issue, though (it will "just
work", and if people resort to illegal C code, it will *still* work <wink>).
