What about exceptions raised by a called subprogram *called by* this
function? How about those that are raised within a rendezvous? What if said
exception isn't visible in the package specification where this declaration
has to be placed? How is the compiler to know that I even *want* an exception
handled? Do you want every unit that calls Put_Line to spit out warnings
about missing explicit handlers for use_error and mode_error?
No thank you!
