Right, it only "intercepts, cleanups, and rethrows". But the
argument is that even that shouldn't happen, as you aren't sure
the cleanup code is still relevant.
At least, I don't think it should be doing cleanup unless you go
out of your way to say: "do this, *even* in case of errors".
I mean, your RAII has already failed anyways. Your memory has
leaked, your ref counts are of the counter, your transactions are
open, your file handles are open...
The only thing you should be doing is trying to die gracefully,
and maybe salvage user data. Your program is in *ERROR*. Cleanup
really shouldn't be the priority, especially if it can
potentially add more corruption to your state.
