I'm with you. Maybe there's some ridiculous, abusive way by using
RTTI to switch on type, but that's freakish.

Just one small question. Is there a reason why this extraordinary
exception class should derive from std::runtime_error rather than
from std::exception? Couldn't the GUI-test code sometimes throw
something more like the standard logic_error classes:
  {domain_error, invalid_argument, length_error, out_of_range}
which [19.1.1/1] "report errors presumably detectable before the
program executes, such as violations of logical preconditions or
class invariants"?
