Orthodox, huh? Looks more heterodox than just about anything I've seen. "Scientology C++" would be more descriptive. Just to shame one out of this bundle of dumb ideas, the motivations behind avoiding exceptions range from "ugh" to "there's extra code injected in there that might be slow or something." This of course kills RAII patterns and a majority of the advantages of using C++. IMO, the author should develop a new language and name it C+-, preferably using C preprocessor macros instead of a separate parser.
