The Ada Language Issues Working Group (SIGAda ALIWG) discussed this
issue a while ago and came up with the following recommendation:

	package CURRENT_EXCEPTION is

		function EXCEPTION_NAME  return STRING;

	end CURRENT_EXCEPTION;

with the basic semantics that the name returned is the simple
identifier of the exception that would be raised by a "raise;" clause
within the context of an exception handler.  Many compiler support
this recommendation, making it reasonably portable.
