unhandled exception if empty exception specification

[Jesse Rothstein]

I was under the (mistaken) impression that it meant that any exception could
be thrown.  It seems I've been using the Microsoft compilers for too long.
VC6 happily throws exceptions from within a method with an empty exception
specification.  Incidentally, I am quite embarrassed.  Thanks...
