C++ exceptions are broken.

As it currently stands a more serious std::logic_error exception can be 
downgraded into a less serious std::runtime_error exception if an 
exception is thrown whilst evaluating the throw expression.  This is a 
nonsense.

Fix: if an exception is thrown whilst evaluating a throw expression then 
std::terminate() is called.
