Ah, it can't hurt. (It might need to be changed.)
... how exactly does one use C<exception;death>, C<exception;exit>, and the other exception types from PIR? I see them mentioned throughout pdd23, but I've never actually seen an example of how these constants (are they constants?) might appear in actual code, whether it's PIR, C, or otherwise. The only "types" I'm aware of for exceptions are the severity values and exception type values in include/parrot/exceptions.h and runtime/parrot/include/except_*.pasm, and none of these seem to have any real correspondence to the "exception types" given in pdd23.
