I wish exceptions would give you access to the stack trace like

costs. Any comments?
I cannot see any reason that an implementation should not provide
you with that information. OTOH I cannot see any reason that the
C++ Standard should make it a requirement.
I can. Without the official way that is blessed by the std, there
will be multiple implementations with different APIs. For such a
commonly recurring task this would be sub-optimal. I reckon that's
why java provides stack tracing. Without it wone would have to go
native with platform-specific code behind the native
implementation. Also, each attempt by different people/groups would
lead to a different API. Java also provides many other things that
standardize interface for operations that are platform-specific or
otherwise non-trivial to implement.
