"nothrow" (not an identifier, not code font) is a commonly used informal term,
and is reflected in the names of type traits like `is_nothrow_constructible<>`.
The Standard seems to consistently use "non-throwing exception specification"
in text. Terminology might have been different if C++ had `noexcept` to start with.
I don't have a strong preference here.
