Ada has had exceptions, well integrated with the rest of the language,
since Ada 80. Ada's terminology is that exceptions are raised and
handled. If you use other terminology in an Ada context, you run the
risk of "failure to communicate". The throw/catch/try kludge came when
exceptions were grafted onto C++, which did not originally have them (or
several other Ada features later grafted on) in 1982.
