          ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Yep.  Or use it in the documented way.  I don't see what the flap is 
about.  It's not mysterious.  It's doc'd that constructors throw 
exceptions to signal failures.  Refusal to use something in the 
documented (and standard, as far as other OO-centric languages are 
concerned) way solicits little sympathy from me.
