I think that's the direction we're heading. I guess now is as good a time
as any to tell everyone :-)
Basically, we're going to be temporarily turning off -fexceptions for C

it off so the C folks won't pay the EH penalty until such time as we can
get the overhead down to something acceptable to most C programmers.
