Well, as much as I'd appreciate RTTI for our Exceptions, doing this on one platform only is pretty dangerous. People developing on this platform might be tempted to use RTTI outside of getCaughtException, and such code will *silently* fail on other platforms. IMO, this is a predetermined breaking point - if not now, then next year, or the year after, for some new developer not knowing the backgrounds. So, for the sake of code quality, I'd give a -1 to this.
