There's a facility designed for exactly this purpose:
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.boost.user/16894>
(see also documentation on unconsumed_event in the reference)
For your specific problem it's probably best to let the unconsumed_event
function throw an exception instead of posting a special event.
Hope that works for you, if not please let me know.
