+    Macro that can be used to indicate that a function doesn't throw any
+    exceptions.
+
+    This macro expands to `noexcept` when using C++11 compiler or `throw()` for
+    older C++ compilers or nothing when used with a C++ compiler too old to
+    support even this.
+
+    Notice that `noexcept` and `throw()` have different semantics in case an
+    exception @e is thrown, so this macro should be used only if you don't rely
+    on the behaviour provided by the latter but not the former.
