Yes, I did indeed miss it. I don't have it locally. I checked my
ISP's "trash" and "spam" buckets, and it wasn't filtered out at
that level, either. But obviously nongnu.org got it.

And that's scary, because I proceeded on the assumption that you
didn't think my message needed any comment, as though it were
entirely obvious. So I went ahead and modeled the new exception
on this:

  class hobsons_choice_exception
      :public std::exception
  {
  };

Then, only because of the fortunate accident that I read this:
  http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/lmi/2014-10/msg00041.html
and thought this technique...

    catch(...)
        {
        try
            {
            report_exception();
            }
        catch(...) // [catches *everything*

...should have a unit test, I set out to write a test, and found
it difficult to implement wx_test_exception when its immediate
parent is std::exception. So I'll have to fix that now.
