[ Resolution proposed by ballot comment: ]

Add a noexcept exception specification on each libary API that offers an unconditional Throws: Nothing guarantee. Where the guarantee is conditional, add the appropriate noexcept(constant-expression) if an appropriate constant expression exists.

Addresses GB-62, CH-17

Issues with efficiency and unsatisfactory semantics mean many library functions document they do not throw exceptions with a Throws: Nothing clause, but do not advertise it with an exception specification. The semantic issues are largely resolved with the new 'noexcept' specifications, and the noexcept operator means we will want to detect these guarantees programatically in order to construct programs taking advantage of the guarantee.
