Possibly, they certainly need reconsideration (my choice would be to
consider making them statically enforceable) But that is beside the
point, my comment was purely show how exceptions (which include
exceptions specs) interact with templates - not only making them pretty
useless but actually unuseable (for templates)

Most discussions I read about exception specifications agree they're useless
or just pure evil. Also I notice some compilers just not implement them
beyond the parser level.

It they really turned out a fiasco shouldn't they be removed from the
language in a future standard?  Or leave only a single spec to indicate
nothrow?
