I see no reason why such powerful exception handling features cannot be
task/thread safe.  In fact, many languages are superior to *both* Ada
and C++ in this regard.

Same comment for distribution: "I see no reason..."

to be passed across partitions.

Followups disobeyed, sorry.  I mean, you're answering somebody who's
