Heh, the benefit you get from doing that is virtually zero.  And in
cases like this where failure would have to be handled many levels up in
the stack and require redesigning an interface used in hundreds of
places making it more awkward to use, not using exceptions is a really
strong incentive not to handle failure at all.  I cannot see any better
solution here other than throwing an exception or letting the program
segfault.
