Right, which is why the ARG decided not to pursue enhancements in this area.
There was a nice proposal, but it ran into the lifetime issues mentioned
previously, and also had bizzare effects on the Ada.Exceptions package (we
don't want to make existing Ada code wrong!) and we ran out of energy to
address this.
The "range of exceptions" idea was part of that proposal, and I was sorry to
see that go, but it just didn't seem important enough.
Randy.
