Problem is that exceptions provide MORE effective way that error return,
And constant check of error code in if(). I do not think that err code is
less dangerous. In fact you can ignore it. You cannot simply ignore
exception.

This is why I have choose exceptions.

Of course may be it is possible
A) throw exceptions in kernel
B) catch them on top level of kernel and convert into err code.
C) all pure interface classes do not throw but only return errors...

Headache in fact.  :-)
