Comment (by filosofo):

 We currently have poor-man's exceptions in a number of places.  For
 example, [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-includes/ms-
 functions.php#L276 here] a `WP_Error` object is returned, but nothing in
 core WP does anything with that return value.  So upon error the logic
 branches, an error object is created, but nothing can be done with the
 helpful information in the way that a thrown exception could be caught.
