This is a requirement -- parts of the runtime depend on this.
For instance, JNI does. So does class initialization.
In the past we had a special hack in g++ that would let us use
Java-style catches in C++. This was determined on a per-file basis --
if you used a Java-style catch in a file you could never use a
C++-style catch.
I don't know whether the new implementation affects this.
