How about adding a string[string] or a variant[string] to the Exception class, so one can know details about the subclassed exception without downcasting? How ugly would that be?For instance: ... catch (Exception ex) { if ("transient" in ex.details) { repeatOneMoreTime(); } if ("i18n_code" in ex.details) { log(translate(ex.details["i18n_code"])); } } ... Details can be standard by convention or otherwise custom. (I can see that this can lead to messy proliferation of details, but at least solves most of the issues).
How would you know which keys are available in "ex.details", documentation? -- /Jacob Carlborg
