I also think all checked run-time errors should be mapped to exceptions, for
reasons already presented. I think there's value in NOT changing the language
any more, but this issue is close to my "must fix" threshold. If the 
language committee prefers not to make the change, I would be in favor
of proposing a model of errors-as-exceptions that "politically correct"
implementations of Modula-3 would be encouraged to follow, as permitted but
not required by the language spec.
