There are currently no such plans. I decided to use sjlj a few
years ago, when I started this project. It seemed to be "old and
stable" while dwarf2 seemed to be "new and testing".

Also, most binary libraries were sjlj, but since we don't use
such libraries anyway, and compile everything ourselves, that
argument doesn't really hold anymore.

So it might be a good idea to switch from sjlj to dwarf2 after
the next release.

Are there any other opinions here on the list? Are there any
objections regarding dwarf2? Would switching to dwarf2 cause
any problems to your projects?
