You could take a look at


    ftp://ftp.ssw.uni-linz.ac.at/pub/Papers/Exceptions.ps.Z


The paper is titled "Zero-Overhead Exception Handling Using
Metaprogramming". Metaprogramming (also called Reflection)
allows for searching for an exception handler based on the
type of the exception as a search criterion.
