I believe it the constructor uses a string and the 'what' member
returns a const char *, if I remember correctly.  (I don't have
the draft handy.)

1) Does the latest ANSI C++ exception classes use the
   string class or do they use char*s?

  exception(const string& what_arg);
  virtual const string& what() const;

  or

  exception(const char* what_arg);
  virtual const char* what() const;

2) Is the name of the logic error class "logic" or
   "logic_error".

3) Is there any way for an object being thrown to know
   when it is thrown, i.e., must compiler implementors
   determine if the object being thrown is derived from
   class exceptions and, if it is so derived, call its
   raise() method.
