I would just point out that this doesn't demonstrate a problem with
exceptions per-se, any more than the existence of non-thread-safe
code indicates a problem with using threads. Writing exception-safe
code is similar to writing thread-safe code in that it's a lot
easier if you've considered it throughout the code's lifetime rather
than trying to introduce it late in the codebase's life. Given that
exceptions were only recently added to Objective-C, it's not
surprising that most existing ObjC code isn't exception-safe.
Exceptions have been in Cocoa since the late '80s...
@try/@catch/@finally was a relatively recent addition in the last few
years, but the NS_DURING/NS_HANDLER/NS_ENDHANDLER served that purpose
prior.
