I don't think the position of "let's not add more unpredictable behavior to the engine" is adequately described as "hypocrite". We know there are interruption problems and such in the engine, we know some of them are hard to fix. However, adding a different class of those doesn't make it better in any way. If we find a solution that allows us to not introduce new unpredictable behaviors - I'm all for it, it's great. Maybe the code that allows to throw exceptions the same way we do with errors, maybe some way to not get unpredictable results on conversions. But we can't just ignore it because there are other problems in the engine too. -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
