Please chime in with thoughts.
Coudln't we throw value types instead? (like in C++)
But how would you chain them?
Owning pointer to next exception.
And they have to implement Throwable's interface.
One of their member would. Speculative design:
struct ValueException
{
Unique!ValueException next;
Unique!Throwable content;
}
Language would change to throw structs and catch them (without
matching).
At the end of a catch bloc, its destructor is called.
This breaks polymorphic catch so it need sugar unfortunately.
