 You were right when you said that your testcase is ill-formed.  The errors
 g++ is giving are correct, per 15.4p3.
 
 I suppose that, as an extension, if a derived function has a looser
 exception specification we could clobber it with the one from the base
 class and give a pedwarn.  But that seems ugly to me.
