[moderator's note: forwarded to C++ Commitee. -sdc]

In [27.6.1.2.1] and [27.6.2.5.1] (exception()&badbit) != 0 is used in testing
for rethrow, yet exception() is the constructor to class std::exception in
[18.6.1] that has no return type. Should member function exceptions() found in
[27.4.4] be used instead?
