Geeat! And people disagreeing with you on this point are not necessary

I'm quite disappointed you reduced this issue to liking/disliking ObjC++.
If you believe that is the appropriate reduction, this is my last
message on the issue. The rest clarifies what I said earlier.
This issue has nothing to do with liking or disliking ObjC++, not
matter how much of "hostility" or other "emotion" you would like to
inject into it. ObjC++ got it wrong, it got it wrong. The place to
fix it is in ObjC++. That has nothing to do with liking or disliking
ObjC++.

I would not guess that it is partly because you seem to approach the
issue only from ObjC++-centric point of view. This is issue is not
just fixing ObjC++ by uglifying libstdc++. Those macro definitions of
try/catch when -fno-exceptions have been there long before ObjC++ came
in. It is not like we're suddenly changing them.
The uglification you're proposing is also breaking interfaces: All
user codes that worked with both -fexceptions and -fno-exceptions and
used try/catch now will break. I don't think I'm prepared to accept
that breakage. The fix is simple for ObjC++: #undef them if it thinks
it wants both -fno-exceptions, libstdc++ headers.
