I once thought I was pretty close to a solution. But nothing I have
designed so far will work! I'm pretty sure your C++ code should be able to
construct an exception (java/lang/Throwable) without interpreting bytecode.
I'm sure we don't need 30+ classes in C++ to handle exceptions. I don't
want to use C++ exception handling! Then, I thought that--since throwing an
exception works in bytecode--maybe I should assume the C++ code will always
invoke bytecode to throw an exception.

Anything that can be handled in bytecode should be, right? A factory class
in Java could be designed to throw standard exceptions. Maybe? I don't know.
