Also, consider that in C++ you can throw any type, such as an int. There

Is that a bug or a feature? :)
It's a feature, and I'm not joking.
What is the compelling use case for throwing an int? How could that possibly fit
into some encapsulation model? What if library A throws an int, and library B
does? Now you catch an int - which did it come from? You've got no clue. It's
indistinguishable from garbage.
