Hmmm! This idea is very old, and has been discussed for a long time, and
indeed, the original design for Ada 9X was much more elaborate, and more
clearly inspired by the C++ design for exceptions than from anything from
the ALIWG. In addition, the issue was mentioned in at least one of the
formal revision requests. I guess Tuck will have to comment on whether
Robert Eachus' statement above is correct. I doubt any ideas "originally
surfaced" anywhere that anyone can remember. Almost any idea in PL at this
stage has ancestral roots that can be traced back. There are verey few
features in Ada 95 that cannot trace back their ancestry to pretty ancient
languages and ideas :-)
