I am forwarding this bug from the Debian Bug Tracking System. Dirk
wants to know if you recommend exceptions or not.
Thanks,

Very interesting suggestion. I am principally in favour, and have only two
concerns
i) possible overhead, though the gcc manual seems to imply that it is
affecting size only, not speed
ii) Policy -- I am not sure if Debian has a view on this either way. I may
bring this up on the Debian-science list.
Would you mind also asking on the GSL list if there is a general
recommendation in favour, against, or neutral?
Cheers, Dirk
