[libcxx-dev] exception_ptr reference counting

[Eric Fiselier via libcxx-dev]

The relevant implementation of exception_ptr is here (
https://github.com/llvm-mirror/libcxx/blob/master/src/support/runtime/exception_pointer_cxxabi.ipp
)

The exception header is reference counted, my very quick and dirty reading
of the implementation suggests that we handle the reference counting
correctly.

please let me know if I've overlooked something.
