i'd rather not do that ... imho it's kind of a dirty hack.
i'd find it better to just document that one has to use an exception
handler that unwinds the dynamic-wind stack to ensure that everything
is properly released.

and i'd find it even better if we could change the behaviour of the
default exception handler to unwind the dynamic-wind stack before
exiting or terminating the thread.  i think it's a more useful default
behaviour... but i don't know if it's easily doable...

just my 2 cents...
