enabling exceptions in kcalc?

[Evan Teran]

Well the plan to catch *all* exceptions I may throw. Basically the
pattern is excepted to be this:

try {
    do_some_gmp_function();
} catch(const gmp_exception &) {
    display_error_to_user();
}

so exceptions will never "bubble up". So, in the end, if I enable
exceptions in kcalc, that won't be too big of a problem for anyone as
long as they are properly handled in all cases?
