Subject: C++ Exception compatibility idea

Hi,

I have a dream... no, it doesn't involve little black kids and 
little white kids, it involves Ruby (or some other scripting 
language) and C++.

I'd love it if a language supported a feature whereby a C++ 
exception thrown in a C++ function is automatically processed and 
caught in an enclosing Ruby raise/rescue block, and a Ruby 
exception is caught and processed in a C++ try/catch block.

Obviously, I could create wrappers that do this at every language 
boundary (which is easy) but it would be cool if this was built 
into the interpreter, so it could be done without having to go 
through any hassle.

I read on the Ruby wiki that it is being considered that Rite be 
written (or Riten lol) in C++... could this be a neat little feature?

Thanks,
	Asfand Yar
