Someone showed me the "function try blocks" in the draft standard today, and
I immediately began to wonder what happens if the function in question is
a constructor and one of the exceptions I catch is "out of memory". If I
have something like:

Fred::Fred(...) try : initializers... {
   code goes here...
} catch ...

And then I say "new Fred" and run out of memory.

I know some existing C++ implementations call the memory allocation code from
inside the constructor and others call it from the place in the code where
'new' was invoked. So in different implementations today, the exception
might actually occur in the caller or the constructor itself.

Does the standard say who gets the memory exception? Or is running out of
memory even an exception? Or is this simply left undefined?
