Why we don't use exceptions in our code


As told by Mike Shaver to Dave Liebreich, 5-Dec-2005
some of the reasons exceptions are not used are:
* problems with older compilers' implementation of exceptions.  This reason will go away as we drop support for older compilers over time.
* problems with exceptions that have to cross boundaries between C, C++, and/or XPCOM.
* lots of the existing code is not exception-safe.
C++ templates are slowly being adopted, so it's not like we never use different stuff.
