/// isc_throw(SomeException, "Error happened, parameter: " << x);

/// Note: the stream related operations or creation of the exception object
/// may itself throw an exception (specifically \c std::bad_alloc).
/// Even though it should be very rare, we may have to address this issue later.
///
/// Note: in general we hate macros and avoid using it in the code.  This is
/// one of few exceptions to that policy.  inline functions cannot be used
/// for embedding \c __FILE__ and \c __LINE__.  This is the main reason why
/// this is defined as a macro.  The convenience for the ostream is a secondary
/// purpose (if that were the only possible reason we should rather avoid
/// using a macro).
