:mrdocs:

Throw a `bsl::bad_exception` exception if exceptions are enabled in the current build mode, otherwise abort the program. `bsl::bad_exception` will be an alias for the platform's `std::bad_exception` class, to ensure both ABI and API compatibility with non‐BDE code relying on the standard exception hierarchy.
