>From my POV, inter-thread exceptions are a great tool to build
multi-threaded applications. *Of course* you don't want to raise
exceptions in threads which aren't ready to accept them, but that"s
the rule of thumb of all exception-ready programming. The fact that
the tool of inter-thread exceptions exist does not mean that you have
to use it mindlessly.

By *synchronization points*, I meant inter-thread synchronization
points. Like the synchronization points defined in POSIX threads
programming.
