Hi all,
Inspired by Gareth aka. Kit's infectious enthusiasm, and the recent long
discussion on exceptions on this list, I wrote up an article on
Exceptions on the FPC wiki. (Strangely enough we didn't have one before.)
http://wiki.freepascal.org/Exceptions
I hope it'll be useful, and not entirely inaccurate! Particularly the
part about performance. If a programmer knows exactly what each
exception statement inserts in the code, that should help in deciding
when to worry about the performance, and when to embrace the convenience.

Thanks Kirinn for making this new wiki page. I just added a single line
at the bottom for "Further reading".
When you add a component to your program, are you made aware about all
of the exceptions that might be raised by the component? When writing
control software this can be *very* important.
There is a little more to the old story here (maybe should be added to
the wiki page):
