To summarize some off-line discusions, it's not "necessary" to use a
new exception model due to any MT isues in C++ program; state kept on
the stack, easily accessible to applications, suffices for reasonably
written chunks of code.  As in Java, so in C++.  (Although historically
it goes the other way around ... C++/MT/Exceptions illuminated the
design of Java exceptions, along with experience in other languages
that offered OO, MT and exceptions well before C++ got its clue!)
