I do agree, mostly because the overhead introduced when writing C code is
too heavy, and I don't see anything really important we could miss by
getting rid of libvlc_exception_t.

The cons is backward compatibility obviously. This could be mitigated by
using some #define wrapper tricks so that exception gets ignored.
