Now there are two `invoke`s in `funcletA`, both of which are handled by `funcletB`, but if the call to `@g()` faults the `endpad` indicates that the runtime needs to unwind out of `funcletA` before calling `funcletB`, whereas if the call to `@h()` faults then the runtime is supposed to invoke `funcletB` while `funcletA`'s frame is still on the stack.  I don't think we can expect WinEH targets to support encoding and executing that arrangement without making two copies of `funcletB`.

Our langref describes `catchendpad` using the following language:
>  The unwind target of invokes between a catchpad and a corresponding catchret must be its catchendpad or an inner EH pad.


It was my understanding that all invokes in a `catchpad` funclet must transitively unwind to the `catchendpad`.

Your example would violate this because the `catchret` in `funcletB` uses `unwinds to caller`.
