Teach me not to keep track of recent additions to Perl... ;)

That works a treat.

Yes, but... I'd like to integrate it with C<die> as I've described at
tedious length elsewhere, which make me fall foul of verboten
C<$SIG{__DIE__}> munging. Still, I suppose I can split it into two
modules; a basic exception creation-and-access package and an
integration package that people can use or not according to their purity
and innocence.

So.

I'll post a new root message as an RFC tomorrow (it's 17:45 here and
I've a 50 mile drive home from work).
