Hi Chris,
it has ever been so and is very useful. Personally I would prefer the proceed ability if exceptions to be changeable depending in circumstance. eg initialise a canPeoceed inst car to the class default but allow knowledgeable clients to alter the status quo. Often exception designers err on making errors not proceedable. For example accessing a directory's contents. If implementing find (1) it's useful to be able to proceed with an empty collection, to skip directories one doesn't have the permissions to read.
