RFC 88 goes to some trouble to seperate exception handling from
exception objects. It doesn't care how exception objects are
numbered, labelled, or titled; it only cares how they stringify
and isa.
However, RFC 88 does say:
If Try's notions of the seperation of exception handling from
the implementation of exception objects gains credence, there
will need to be one or more RFCs on the matter of the built-in
or core-module Exception class sanctioned by Perl 6.
RFC 88 does provide a minimalist exception object base class, but
it doesn't consider the manner in which this is extended, such as
for numbering, labelling, or source-code tracking. It also doesn't
consider the class hierarchy for exception objects.
I will however be delighted to participate in the discussion of
RFCs related to Perl 6's canonical exception class. We should
probably move to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Yours, &c, Tony Olekshy
