Perhaps what would be better would be to have a macro for "simple"
exceptions that could be added in whatever file(s)
BOOST_THROW_EXCEPTIONs definition exists (BOOST_THROW_SIMPLE_EXCEPTION?
BOOST_THROW_UNMODIFIED_EXCEPTION? BOOST_THROW_RAW_EXCEPTION? not sure
any of those names work). All if would do would throw the exception if
exceptions are enabled or call the function otherwise - I'm sure this
could be used in many other places and would avoid having an abundance
of practically identical statement blocks.
