What does this even mean? Can you detail or explain how this is supposed to
work?

IMHO, yes, this is completely misguided, unsupported, bizarre, known to fail,
and should be documented as such.

If you are going to go through and add in hacks to deal with -fno-exceptions
for every C++/X language combo, then I'd be in favor of -fno-exceptions be
changed so that the C++ FE takes care of the keywords, since at least then
it'll all be taken care of in one place and would be consistently well-defined.
I think that's the proper place to fix this.

Can you point out where Objective C++ -fno-exceptions behavior documented?
