Alex;
	Yes, you can use setjmp/longjmp. No, you shouldn't. They do not
call destructors, and in fact, unless used very carefully, are almost
guaranteed to mess up memory. Exception handling will address these
problems, but I don't know of any compilers currently implementing
exception handling according to the standard.
