I wasn't proposing introducing noexcept at this stage; I was proposing stripping out all the throw() specifications. They are very unlikely to be of positive benefit, but can negatively affect performance. (You would expect them to be a compile-time check, that has no effect on run-time (*), but in reality they are the opposite: they are not used at compile-time, but are used at run-time.)
