   IMO current model of requesting all information a function needs from   
   caller by declaring explicit function parameters is cleaner and simpler   
   to understand.   
      
   That Dobbs article seemingly misses the point. Exceptions are necessary   
   evil ... efficient way to deal with very rare concerns. Now if a function   
   realizes that it can not do what it should because some access is not   
   granted or keys are not authorized then it should either abort the   
   program or throw exceptions or return error (depends on its contract   
   requirements). Somehow hacking and repairing the situation by doing   
   something that is far above its responsibilities is most evil thing to do   
   because it results with spaghetti code that we all hate.
