Let's throw exceptions like it's 1991! Developer experience is very important in the #CHERIoT project. It's not enough that memory-safety bugs crash, you need to be able to easily recover from the errors. We've learned from our experiences writing error recovery (and from a lot of other systems) to build something that fits on small systems and works well for the common cases.
