I think a large part of our hackers, certainly of new ones, might have

Somewhat confused, I'd say. At least if we would utilize
standards-compliant compiler environments, exception specifications need
to be exactly right, same as in Java. (Though without Java's feature of
having this statically checked by the compiler.)
And then there are the hackers (like me) who don't bother to wonder
about it, and pay no attention to whether some function claims to
potentially throw something or not, and just copy boilerplate as they
think necessary when applicable.
This attitude scares me, btw.
