[Monotone-devel] Why is informative_failure not a std::exception?

[Christof Petig]

I'm wondering about the reason that informative_failure is not an
std::exception but oops is. My code was catching std::exception to check
for any error and continue if possible but now I have to catch for
std::exception (e.g. oops, out_of_range) and informative_failure (E(),
I()) separately.

Especially since the interface is similar (both provide what (though
differently: public function vs public member))

Wondering
