I'm sorry, but this is just a crappy excuse invented to defend
C++ EH. It has no merits, except being an excuse for writing
exceptionally convoluted code to save performance because real
exceptions are slow.
No, Exception are a bail out mechanism. It is the, I have no idea
what to do about this mechanism.
If you put aside performance concerns, exceptions for control
flow also tend to make many code path implicit and makes for very
unreadable/unmaintainable code.
