Given that hoping that std::bad_alloc is thrown when expected and hoping
that there's something that can be done about it when caught are rather
futile exercises on common systems, keeping exception support only for that
purpose does indeed not appear to be overly reasonable. So I am tempted to
say "not worth it".

Perhaps... do we have numbers how much the gain would actually be, say,
for code size?
