Do you think that this technique could be factored out to solve the problem
with threads? Another problem I've had to deal with is propagating
exceptions through windows message handlers.

If anything I'd say compile-time enumerations is underkill. Typically I'd
only be interested in one or two types of exceptions and something like
this:
run_and_throw<my_lib::socket_error, std::exception>(f);
Or maybe something like lambda::try_catch seems much simpler than anything
involving dynamic registration. On the other hand, I agree that it's not as
flexible. Are you referring to the problem with splicing in particular?
