	More importantly (to me), is the stack preserved when you have to 
re-raise an exception?:

let operate_on_file f fn =
     let ch = open_in fn in
     try
         f ch;
         close_in ch;
     with x ->
         close_in ch;
         raise x
;;

	When this thing raises Not_found, will I be able to tell why?
