No hurry.
Do you have
references to back up your claims (references deemed acceptable by WP)?
Yes, I quoted from Bjarne's 1986 book "The C++ Programming Language".
Bjarne writes in "Possible Directions for C++" he writes "Because of destructors
the C solution is insufficient and C++ will eventually be forced to develop an
exception handling mechanism."

That's the first reference I can find to adding EH to C++. It does not propose
any syntax.
In 1988 and 1990 there are proposals for ways to add EH to C++.
