In fact, it is correct.  If unexpected throws or rethrows an exception
that is not allowed in a throw-clause, terminate should be called.
There's a minor point still missing: if f(int) could throw
std::bad_exception, instead of calling terminate, a
std::bad_exception() exception should be propagated.  I don't think
this is supported (yet).
