typedef std::vector ConverterList;

AutoThrowable ConvertToThrowable (TheExceptionBeingHandled exception, const ConvertList list TheConvertList()) {

//basics:

for (ConverterList::const_reverse_iterator c = list.rbegin(); c != list.rend())

try {

return (*c) (exception) }

catch (...) {}

return AutoThrowAble() // could be another throw, but we don't want to throw an exception in code where we're trying to NOTE do that

We'll use info if it's a time we don't know about

Also there's a problem if the new failed... but hmm... not a lot to do about this either

Reverse iterators 'cause if you catch a base class before an inherited class, you would get a base - (this list needs to be ordered by inheritance)

You can also use this pattern to hide exceptions from routines that don't understand exceptions

Deep Fact: It tries a list of ways to turn the exception into The Thing You Want (a base throwable class) (or exceptions into strings for users)
