I have nothing to contribute other than to ask if this rewrite will bring clang's -fno-exceptions behavior inline with GCC's. According to this comment: http://llvm.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=9171#c5 clang disables both C++ and Objective-C exceptions with that option whereas GCC only disables them for C++. Of course, this may have already been fixed in clang in the 5 months since I reported that bug, and WebKit fixed the issue where it was cropping up for them, but I just wanted to bring it to your attention if you're going to specifically change how exceptions are implemented in clang. 

Of course this could be completely irrelevant, so carry on.
