No specific answer here, but I'm interested to know why?

The only exceptions I can see used in std::string are length_error and
out_of_range, in the obvious cases.  out_of_range is triggered by
illegal arguments and length_error is triggered by running out of
numbers in the char array - in my implementation that's INT_MAX - 1
which seems like a lot.  Both of these would seem fairly easy to avoid.

Have I missed something?

Dave.
