I read that link. Yes, I know there's more to handle in C++. I think
I've become aware that it's not just making some type-checking and
branching in the landing pad. The "just" is actually complex to do and
involves the actions taken by the personality routine. However I will
start by trying to support the unwind instruction and see where it
leads me.

Thank you all for your constructive criticism and the discussion. It
has definitely raised some thoughts.
