Almost.  It's saying that builtin exceptions should be objects with 
specific attributes iff a try/throw/catch mechanism is also approved.

I'll keep modifying my RFCs with the great feedback and ideas that are 
popping up.  If my RFC 63 gets close enough to RFC 88 in this process that 
I see no impact from merging them - as seems to be happening - I'll 
certainly propose to Tony that we merge them as co-authors.  As long as I 
think there is an ideological difference, I don't think we benefit from 
merging a VW beetle with a SUV and trying to present the result as better 
than both.

As I've said before, I don't think there's a competition here.
