It is intentional ? Does it means that one should be prepared to handle exceptions thrown from uncaught_exception() ?

uncaught_exception() is called in exception handling contexts where exception safety is very important.

Proposed resolution:

In 14.6.3 [except.uncaught], paragraph 1, 17.9 [support.exception], and 99 [uncaught], add "throw()" to uncaught_exception().
