There are some overheads in enabling native exceptions.

I'm not too familiar with the issue, I only know that when I added  
support
for native exceptions to gnustep-make and tried to make it the  
default, someone
else came out and turned it off again by default claiming that the  
overheads
are high.

That's fine btw - the main problem is that because you need a special  
configure flag to turn them on,
nobody seems to be using native exceptions, so they don't get used /  
tested / finished. :-(

Which is a pity, because they are a nice feature to have.

Thanks
