Yes. I think it's important to recognize that *both* complaints are valid:
- Traditional EH introduces invisible control flow
- Traditional EH introduces performance penalties on the slow path, and
code bloat in general

I know that Herb Sutter recognizes both complaints. IMO the "Herbceptions"
proposal so far deals mainly with the second (performance) issue.
Herb's P0709R4
Section 4.5.1
<http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2019/p0709r4.pdf> does
weakly suggest a `try foo()` syntax to make the invisible control flow more
visible; but I don't think that feature is very much thought-out or baked.
The paper shows an EWG straw poll from Cologne indicating that further work
in that specific direction is discouraged. However, EWG (and certainly
Herb) are aware of the *problem*. There's no solution yet, but that just
means we need more time to think and — especially — to experiment in real
codebases and see what works and what doesn't.

(Furthermore, I think that C++2a [and C++2b] should be delayed.)
