there appear to be plans to use C++ exceptions in mozilla land, though a
quick search doesn't seem to find anything about when and how these

they are thrown in ~all cases.

These specific bad_alloc exceptions or all of our exceptions?, because
trying to e.g. revert to a global -fno-exceptions world seems
impractical.
