One of the major features we've said we'd like to see in F202X is
"exception handling", but this is probably the least well defined (for
Fortran) of any of the features proposed. Tonight I ran across a
proposal being suggested for the Go language which bears some
similarities to at least one proposal I've seen for Fortran. Some in the
Go community don't like it.
I haven't studied it enough to see if there are any "take-aways" for
Fortran, but I found it worthwhile reading as I saw echoes of some of
our earlier discussions.
