No, the way they are implemented in g++ sucks. That doesn't mean the concept 
is broken.

There currently is only one C++ standard, and exceptions predate it by more 
than a decade. According to DaEC++, C++ exceptions were designed from 1984 to 
1989. The first implementation as defined in the ARM appeared in sping 1992. 
The Standard was finally voted in november 1997.
